Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (GIANT BOO BOO) (8-5) - The probable favorite, lightly-raced 3yo finished a pace-setting second here nine days ago at this level going 6.5 furlongs. A career-best effort it came first following a claim by Jeremiah Englehart. Back on a quick turnaround, he shortens up a 1/16th of a mile and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #7 (Wheresthebarber) (5-2) - One of two entered by trainer Gary Contessa and the pair race uncoupled. He rallied from close range to finish second here at this level Aug. 6 and it was by far his best attempt in three starts. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Shuffling Madness) (4-1) - The second of the pair from the Contessa barn, he raced evenly when finishing fourth, 4 lengths behind 'Wheresthebarber' here Aug. 6. Improving, he moves off the rail and can factor at a square price.
