Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (WEEKEND RIDE) (5-2) - A stakes winner sprinting against fellow state-breds July 1, he then finished 2nd in his follow up facing open' allowance foes July 29. Speedy sort stretches out for this attempt and gets top billing.
2nd pick: #5 (Love My Boss) (12-1) - This longshot has been freshened up for the past two months. He's won twice in his last five starts, all against 'open' company, and I think he's a win candidate at a big price.
3rd pick: #1 (Big Falcon Rocket) (10-1) - Another longshot, he moves way up in class after missing by a 1/2-length here on the grass Aug. 4. It was a career-best, and he draws the rail for this assignment. In the mix.
4th pick: #2 (Public Safety) (4-1) - He finished about five lengths behind 'Weekend Ride' when sprinting July 1, then finished 2nd going a mile July 14. He has a flexible style, fits on figures, and can't be eliminated.
