Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (SILKY WAY) (4-1) - One of two entered by trainer Bill Mott and the pair race uncoupled. This home bred by 'Malibu Moon' is shortening up in distance, dropping into a claimer, and is racing second back from a seven month layoff. He tired here in his return facing tougher Aug. 6 and is set up for a big effort.

2nd pick: #13 (Danny's Rush) (6-1) - The second of the pair from trainer Bill Mott, he's racing third back from a 6.5 month layoff and was competitive in a grass sprint in his return at Belmont June 8. Longshot has worked four times since, with a very sharp half-mile here Aug. 21. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #6 (Dab) (3-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, he's finished second twice at this meet, once on the grass and the other on a muddy main track Aug. 12. One-run type is an obvious threat.

4th pick: #3 (Tiz Wicked) (20-1) - Longshot enters off a wide and even fourth place finish here at this level and distance July 28. He had an outside post that afternoon and draws much better for this attempt. May factor at a very big price.
