Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (KENYAN) (7-2) - Lightly-raced and well bred, gelding has been freshened up since July 1 at Belmont Park. He tired that day after showing early speed going a mile facing tougher. Barn drops him to a new low, has him working nicely, and leading rider Jose Ortiz is aboard for the first time.

2nd pick: #2 (Blarney Stones) (3-1) - The morning line favorite, he missed by a 1/2 length here at this level and distance Aug 11. A career best overall, stalker is a strong win candidate in this spot.

3rd pick: #1 (Buckwellspent) (5-1) - Stalker type rallied to finish a distant second going six furlongs here at this tag Aug 3. He's defeated 'Blarney Stones' the two times they met earlier in the year, but his inside post will work against him in this spot. Dangerous if he avoids an early traffic shuffle.

4th pick: #6 (Cold Revenge) (15-1) - NEW gelding also has a new trainer (Dave Cannizo). Unraced since June 4 he was never involved that day facing tougher in his debut. Working steadily locally, he drops in class and may grab a share at a very big price.
