Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (POINT TO REMEMBER) (7-2) - Stronach home bred is facing winners for the first time. The promising colt was an easy maiden winner going 9 furlongs Aug. 20 at Saratoga while earning a good figure for a lightly-raced 3-year-old. Training above average locally and his outside post in this small field will give rider Jose Ortiz some early options
2nd pick: #1 (Mr Buff) (7-5) - Consistent speed/stalker moves in with 'open' company following a very easy nine-length win going 9 furlongs Aug 22 at Saratoga facing fellow state-breds. He's defeated 'open' foes in the past, has the rail, and is 7-2-1-2 on the local dirt in the past.
3rd pick: #2 (Plainsman) (2-1) - Son of 'Flatter' sold for $350K as a yearling back in Sep of 2016. Stretch runner rallied while wide to finish third of aeven, beaten a length going 9 furlongs at this level Sept. 1 at Saratoga. Improving and must be left in the mix.
