Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (PALERMO STYLE) (7-2) - Colt ships from Golden Gate Fields where he finished second as the 2-1 favorite when debuting at this level and distance June 7. Working fast for his return, he has blinkers on and will be tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #3 (Red Envelope) (3-1) - The slight morning line favorite, he rallied while wide to miss by a /2 length debuting here at this level July 26. Bet down to 7-2 in that eight horse field, $115,000 purchase is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Big Bad Gary) (12-1) - Longshot has a speed/stalking style and last out tired late to finish fourth, 4 lengths in back of 'Red Envelope. Grey colt is capable of getting a share at a big price.
4th pick: #7 (Cayate) (8-1) - Long-time maiden tends to race evenly and hasn't finished worse than fourth in seven straight starts. Can grab a minor award but winning this would be a bit of a surprise.
