Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (SPEIGHTFUL KITTEN) (3-1) - Freshened up since Saratoga, colt was competitive in a pair of starts there at this level when sprinting on the grass. Well backed in both, he's training steadily and is bred to like this longer distance.
2nd pick: #5 (The Intern) (6-1) - He's raced evenly in his first pair and has already been competitive at this trip. His last pair of works are sharp and Castellano stays aboard.
3rd pick: #1 (Silky Way) (10-1) - One of two entered by trainer Bill Mott and the pair race uncoupled. Broman home bred closed well when debuting in at this distance Sept. 22 at Belmont. Lasix is added and this son of 'Malibu moon' is a threat at a square price.
4th pick: #9 (The Great Samurai) (7-2) - The field's most experienced maiden, he's finished second in three of four starts on the grass. Beaten narrowly in his last pair, gelding is an obvious contender, but no 'lock' at a short price.
5th pick: #2 (Benny Big Boy) (15-1) - Longshot has some speed and breaks from the rail. A NEW gelding, it's noted that he was heavily backed in his first pair. Can factor at a big price.
