Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (STAND AND SALUTE) (3-1) - Monmouth invader drops in class after tiring to finish 3rd facing tougher at this distance July 31. Working very fast for this attempt, he's perfectly spotted by trainer George Navarro.
2nd pick: #5 (Candy Stalker) (8-1) - Longshot hasn't raced since July 12. He enters off a two-race winning streak, has a speed/stalking style, and has some fast works on view. Can factor at a square price if ready.
3rd pick: #1 (Sharp Stick) (5-2) - One of two entered by trainer Patty Farro and the pair race uncoupled. Once classier type is dropping to a new low and it's nice to see him stringing starts together since coming off an 8-month layoff in late April. Factors today.
4th pick: #9 (Here Comes Gary) (9-2) - One of two entered by trainer Juan Vazquez and they race uncoupled. 'Gary' has a stalking style, enters in good form, and is dropping down in class. Dangerous from close range.
