Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (CONSUMERCONFIDENCE) (5-2) - He looked sharp when breaking his maiden here at this trip Aug .10. By far a career best, it was his first stat since May 28. In the barn of Chad Brown, colt moves way up in class but gets a slim edge. Make sure you box your exactas in this contest.

2nd pick: #9 (Baby Bear's Soup) (9-2) - Very sharp right now, so owner/trainer Dave Jacobson will move him to the grass following a pair of excellent efforts on the dirt, one here and the other at Belmont. Dangerous if he handles the surface change.

3rd pick: #6 (Spectrolite) (2-1) - The morning line favorite has excellent early speed and enters off a sharp gate-to-wire win going six furlongs on the Belmont turf July 16. Five-year-old has been nicely managed by trainer Dave Donk and he also owns this runner.

4th pick: #1 (E J's Legacy) (15-1) - Gelding ran well here going a mile when facing fellow New York breds in a first-level allowance. Racing back into shape after an eight month layoff, he has the rail and is capable of getting a share at a big price.
