Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (MR KRINGLE) (8-5) - Stakes placed three times in six starts on the grass, he drops in class for this attempt. Colt broke his maiden at this trip last November, has a ground-saving post today, and will be tough in this spot as long as he avoids any traffic issues.

2nd pick: #3 (Winning Factor) (7-2) - Consistent 4yo son of 'The Factor' broke his maiden at this distance by almost three lengths for a $40K price tag on June 27 at Belmont Park. Strong finisher earned a career-best figure that says he can compete with this group as he faces winners for the first time.

3rd pick: #7 (Zipalong) (10-1) - A $100K purchase in April of 2019, he's another who is facing winners for the first time. Also in with 'open' company following four starts against fellow New York-breds, he closed into a slow pace to score by just over three lengths, he has room for upside, and he is dangerous at a big price.

4th pick: #6 (Catch That Party) (8-1) - He won his debut in gutsy fashion when sprinting at Belmont facing fellow state-breds June 13. Involved every step, he appears to be the main speed as he stretches out in distance in his first facing winners.
