Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (HERE'S TO MIKE) (2-1) - He ships down from Monmouth Park in top form for trainer Jane Cibelli. Stalker has won two in a row there and enters with the highest last out 'figure' of any running in this contest.
2nd pick: #3 (Pleiadian) (9-2) - Speed-ball is racing first of a claim by leading trainer Ramon Preciado (a 24% winning angle) and a 70-day break (21%). Veteran gelding has the best early speed and is a threat to take this field from start-to-finish.
3rd pick: #2 (Incisive Strike) (4-1) - Strong finisher is nearing his 10th birthday, but still brings his best when properly spotted. He had to jump over a fallen rival here Aug. 9th and raced evenly to check in a distant 4th after that incident. Pa bred is a late threat.
4th pick: #10 (Black Forest) (3-1) - Speed/stalker moves from dirt to turf and is stretching out in distance. Very lightly raced 6yo is an erratic type, but is capable of impacting with his best.
