Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (READTHEPROSPECTUS) (8-1) - Price play moves up in class in his first off a Dave Jacobson claim (a 26% winning angle). Lightly raced 6yo has won eight of 15 overall starts and is six for 12 on the dirt. He rallied to defeat a bit weaker on the Saratoga turf the day he changed barns. He's three-for-three at this distance and has a shot at expected long odds.
2nd pick: #6 (The Truth or Else) (6-1) - One of two 3yos entered, he's been on the sidelines since winning here at this distance May 22. Stakes placed on the local dirt, and he's a threat from off the pace at a square price.
3rd pick: #8 (Noble Moon) (4-1) - A G2 winner in the past, he enters off a solid 2nd place finish at this level going 1 1/8th miles at Saratoga Aug. 19th. Son of 'Malibu Moon' has been in 'over his head' until recently and has now run 2nd in both starts at this reduced level.
4th pick: #3 (Hartford) (5-2) - Undefeated (two-for-two) , his wins came almost 19 months apart. Stalker won an entry-level allowance at Saratoga going seven furlongs Aug. 9th, and is trying a longer trip for the first time. In the Pletcher barn and dangerous.
