Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #11 (NUCKY) (5-2) - He ships in from Ellis Park where he finished a close up fourth of 11 at this level and distance July 13. A son of 'Ghostzapper', he was bumped at the break last out and had to rush up to be just off the pace. Colt has worked three times here since Aug. 6, draws well, and leading rider Flavien Prat is aboard.

2nd pick: #1 (Railsplitter) (4-1) - One of a pair from leading trainer Doug O'Neill, colt has been competitive in both starts, one each on turf and dirt. He has blinkers on and is a win candidate.

3rd pick: #5 (Impossible Task) (3-1) - The second of the O'Neill trained pair, he switches from grass to dirt after an good first attempt when sprinting here on the turf Aug. 7. Back in two weeks, he must be left in the mix.
