Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (STORMIN STEPHEN) (2-1) - The probable favorite, he's stretching out in distance after a pair of narrow defeats at this level going shorter. Stalker is well bred, in shape, and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Slapstick) (7-2) - Nice debut Aug. 28th at Saratoga saw him rally from close range to miss by less than a length going 5.5 furlongs at this level. Working well, his connections stretch him out to seven furlongs. Stretch threat.
3rd pick: #7 (Sherry's Miracle) (8-1) - Blinkers go on after he raced evenly when debuting in the same last race as 'Stormin Stephen.' Son of 'Freud' has worked fast for this, presumably with the 'hood' on. Price play.
4th pick: #11 (Whatawonderflworld) (5-1) - He split 'Stephen' and 'Sherry' last out in a nice debut. He draws a nice outside post at this trip and can factor with normal second out improvement.
