Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (BATTLE OF EVERMORE) (3-1) - He made a strong move turning for home here July 22 and held to finish second to today's rival 'Clifton Pleasure.' It was a career best overall and only his second start back following almost a eight month layoff. He's moving from an outside post to the rail and leading trainer Chad Brown has him making back-to-back appearances.

2nd pick: #5 (One Sided) (9-2) - Colt moves back in with fellow New York breds after tiring facing tougher 'open' allowance company July 15 at Belmont Park. He had won his previous race there at this level June 2 and a year ago he scored here at this distance. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #3 (Thirst for Glory) (6-1) - Gelding raced evenly here at this level and distance July 22. Four-year-old finished behind a pair of today's rivals that afternoon, but had missed by less than a length in his prior start at Belmont June 26. Fits with his nest and he'll be a square price.

4th pick: #7 (Clifton Pleasure ) (7-2) - Stalker road the rail from his inside post and defeated 'Battle of Evermore' by a length here at this level and distance July 22. It was his second win in a row and earned him a career best figure. Can factor again, but think he'll be over-bet.
