Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (PETRUCHIO) (5-2) - He chased and tired to finish 3rd debuting here at 5 furlongs Aug. 1. He's worked twice since for Rick Mandella, 20% 2nd time out and he sends him an additional furlong with Flavien Prat staying aboard. I give him a slight edge.
2nd pick: #6 (Vittorio) (2-1) - Away slowly in his debut, he raced evenly while wide once in stride. $750,000 purchase has worked fast since, draws well, and I could have easily made him the top choice.
3rd pick: #1 (Go On) (3-1) - A home-bred by 'Nyquist', he worked an extremely fast 5 furlongs from the gate here in :58.60 Aug. 16. First-time-starter is part of the win mix if he runs back to that swift a.m. drill.
