Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (MASCARELLO) (4-1) - Freshened up since June 4, he just missed at this level and distance. Stalker is working above average locally and trainer James Bond has won four races at the meet. He gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #9 (Brooklyn Speights) (6-1) - Speedy and lightly raced, he tired late to finish 4th here at this tag and trip Aug. 8th. It was his first start since early November, and he should move forward off of it.
3rd pick: #10 (Two Down One to Go) (7-2) - Well bred colt drops back down in his second off a Steve Asmussen claim. He tired here facing tougher at Belmont July 17, but had missed by less than a length in his previous start at this tag.
4th pick: #5 (Foreset) (8-1) - The field's 'wild card,' he's racing first time for bill Mott (21% angle), he moves him from dirt to turf, and stretches him out in distance. NEW gelding is working above average and is bred to enjoy the surface change.
5th pick: #8 (Risky Sour) (20-1) - Not a serious win candidate, but long time maiden has enough ability to grab a minor award at a very big price.
