Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (SILENT MOVIES) (5-2) - The probable favorite, he finished a pace-setting second here at this tag and trip Aug 3. He's been sharp in three of four this year on the grass and gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #8 (Storm the Shore) (6-1) - Another with early speed, he's moving up in class and is switching from dirt to grass. He tired earlier this year facing tougher in his only previous turf start. Can factor at a square price.

3rd pick: #3 (Patron) (8-1) - Longshot stretches out in distance, goes dirt to turf, and drops in class. He tired badly when debuting in a grass sprint July 23, but $200K purchase is bred to love the grass and you can have trainer Bob Baffert at a big price for a change.

4th pick: #10 (What's Up Doc) (10-1) - Lightly-raced 4-year-old has been away from action for just under a year. Working steadily for his return, he may grab a share at a big price if ready.

5th pick: #9 (Formulate) (8-1) - Well bred 3-year-old moves to the grass after being eliminated at the break in a dirt contest July 28. It was his first since Dec 3 and it's noted that Bejarano gets aboard this longshot.
