Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (STONY BENNETT) (2-1) - One of two entered by trainer Linda Rice and the pair race uncoupled. State-bred moves in with 'open' company after a very sharp win here going 6 furlongs July 27 facing first-level New York-bred allowance foes. He draws a perfect outside post in this small field, has positive off-track experience, and gets top billing.
2nd pick: #1 (What a Catch) (3-1) - Another state-bred, he rallied to finish second here at this tag going 6 furlongs Aug 5. Stalker is from the Pletcher barn, has a ground-saving post, and John Velazquez stays aboard.
3rd pick: #3 (Zombie) (4-1) - The field's wild card, speedy gelding ships in from Iowa where he's been an easy winner in three of his last four in sprints at Prairie Meadows. He's one for two on off surfaces and is dangerous if he brings his recent form with him.
