Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (SAVAGERY) (3-1) - Colt tired after showing good early speed here sprinting against tougher July 29. Leading trainer Peter Miller drops him into a claimer and $100,000 son of 'Bellamy Road' gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #9 (Two Fifty Coup) (5-2) - He finished second here racing for a $50,000 price tag at this distance July 20. Only his second start, it was his first in a claimer and he was taken that afternoon by Doug O'Neill. He worked fast Aug. 8 and is moving up just a bit in his first for the new trainer (a solid 25% first off the claim).

3rd pick: #5 (Samurai Jack) (9-2) - Colt raced wide when finishing third, 4.5 lengths in back of 'Two Fifty Coup' when debuting here July 20. Colt raced wide from an outside post, draws better, and trainer Mark Glatt wins at a 23% rate second time out.
