Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (MIGHTY ZEALOUS) (7-2) - This veteran drops in class following a wide and even 4th place finish here going 6.5 furlongs in a $100K stakes for state breds July 26. Hard hitter seems to love being active and has gone 3-2-1-0 the last three times he's been at this level. 7yo draws a fine outside post and will be tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #5 (Heavy Meddle) (7-2) - Colt tired after setting a quick and pressured pace at this level and distance July 4 at Belmont. He was sent hard from his rail post that afternoon and draws better for this assignment. Trainer Bill Mott has been on a positive roll the past week, and this Broman home bred by 'Medaglia d'Oro' has been sharp in all three previous local attempts.
3rd pick: #4 (O Shea Can U See) (3-1) - Lightly raced 3yo has won his last pair at Belmont by big margins in wire-to-wire fashion. Very much improved in that pair following a 2.5-month layoff, and this gelding by 'Curlin' must be left in the mix.
