Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (ENGAGE) (4-1) - The talented colt finished second here to today's rival 'Promises Fulfilled' going 6.5 furlongs in the Amsterdam Stakes (G3) July 28. $550,000 purchased 'hit the gate' at the break and tired late after chasing that runner. He's worked fast since, travels a bit farther, and think he can win this with a trouble-free beginning.
2nd pick: #1 (Promises Fulfilled) (9-5) - He was an easy gate-to-wire winner here in the G3 Amsterdam Stakes July 28. Speedball is working fast, has the rail, and a repeat of the figure earned last out makes him a very serious win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (Firenze Fire) (7-2) - He won the Sanford Stakes (G3) here last year then finished 4th in the Hopeful (G1) Sept. 4. Colt lost his form this past spring but enters off a career-best when he won Belmont's one mile Dwyer Stakes (G3) July. One-run type shortens up in distance, draws a fine outside post, and he should receive a fast/and or contested pace to rally into.
