Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (AIR VICE MARSHALL) (2-1) - One of the most expensive yearlings ever sold, this now 4yo by 'War Front' cost $2,200,000 at Keeneland back in Sept. of 2014. So far he's earned back $97,000 of it. Shows how tough this game can be. Anyway, he's stretching out in distance after finishing 2nd at this level going seven furlongs at Belmont Park July 16. He should beat this group with a clean break and trouble free trip.
2nd pick: #9 (Kantune) (7-2) - Steady veteran rallied into a swift pace to finish 4th of 10, beaten 2.5 lengths here at this level and distance July 30. Speed/stalker is in good form and is dangerous.
3rd pick: #1 (Exulting) (6-1) - $500,000 son of 'Tapit' is one of three entered that is racing on the grass for the first time. Godolphin runner is a NEW gelding, has a fine work tab on view, has the rail, and is bred to handle the turf.
4th pick: #10 (Hollow Point) (8-1) - Speed/stalker is another trying the grass for the first time. Grey colt is racing third back from a half-year's absence, and his ability to break sharply is a big plus in a field of mostly stretch runners.
