Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (SINGAPORE TRADER) (5-2) - The probable favorite, she raced evenly after bobbling at the start of her heavily backed debuting sprinting on the Belmont dirt June 23. Freshened up, grey home bred by 'Flatter' is from the Pletcher barn (32% second time out). He moves her to the grass, stretches her out in distance, and John Velazquez stays aboard. Can take this with an alert break.
2nd pick: #6 (Sidd Finch) (7-2) - He showed fine early speed when finishing a close up third at this level sprinting on the Belmont turf July 2. It was s nice move forward off his debut on a muddy surface May 26. Dangerous on the stretch out.
3rd pick: #4 (Fox Strike) (8-1) - Price play tired here on a sloppy surface when debuting in an 'off the turf' sprint here July 24. Bred for the grass, he's from a good Finger Lakes barn (Anthony Ferraro) and it's a plus to see Florent Geroux back on the re-ride.
4th pick: #5 (Can'tweallgetalong) (6-1) - One of two entered by trainer Gary Contessa and the pair race uncoupled. Colt had a rough trip in a dirt sprint at this level July 15 at Belmont and is bred to handle both the turf and this longer distance.
