Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (ALL ABOUT ASHLEY) (4-1) - Not sure why this veteran was 'pulled up' last out but he's worked since, has the rail, and is dropping in class while moving in with fellow New York Breds in this spot. I think this old timer has a good shot from on or just off the lead.
2nd pick: #4 (Mr Buff) (5-2) - The main speed, he's stretching out around two turns for this attempt. He finished a pace-pressing second here going 7 furlongs July 25 and is a serious threat today if allowed to get an uncontested early advantage.
3rd pick: #1a (Cause I'm Alex) (6-1) - Veteran rallied from far back to defeat weaker here at this distance Aug. 13. The 7yo has a fine record at this 9 furlong trip (4-2-0-2) and is 2 for 3 at Saratoga. Must be left in the win mix.
