Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (SARATOGA COLONEL) (5-2) - Lightly-raced gelding by 'Colonel John' moves up a bit in price while stretching out in distance and moving back to the grass. He was very wide here from a tough outside post (12th of 12) sprinting on the dirt July 31 but had been much sharper facing tougher in a pair of Belmont grass races prior to that. He gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #10 (Brooklyn Speights) (3-1) - Freshened up since June 11, he tired while wide that day going seven furlongs on the Belmont grass at this level. He had finished second in four straight before that effort and has valuable and positive experience at this distance. A win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Heat Check) (6-1) - He's raced evenly all four starts, each at this level on the grass. Stalker has enough early speed to stay within range and is a threat at a square price with some improvement.
4th pick: #7 (Looking At U Kid) (8-1) - Long time maiden rallied strongly to miss by a length at odds of 72-1 at Belmont at this tag and trip July 17. In his follow up at Monmouth Aug. 3 he finished an even third in a small field. This is his 15th attempt and he's yet to finish higher than third, so a minor award would seem to be his ceiling.
