Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (Entry of 1-COMMEND & 1a- VICI) (6-5) - The probable favorite, he's coupled in the wagering with #1a-VICI and both have good shots at winning this turf sprint. 'COMMEND' ships back from Woodbine where he finished fourth in a G2 turf sprint. 'VICI" missed by a 'head' here at this level and distance July 22 and is a strong compliment to his entry-mate.

2nd pick: #7 (Zoot Suit) (4-1) - Speedy Monmouth shipper was an easy winner there July 7 in an allowance race that was taken 'off the turf.' Very capable on the grass, he's gone 8-2-2-2 sprinting on the turf in the past.

3rd pick: #2 (Fear) (10-1) - A ten time winner, he's won his last three starts when sprinting on the grass. Stalker has a ground saving post and should be making up ground late.

4th pick: #6 (End Play) (9-2) - Consistent colt won at Belmont June 23, then was only a length behind 'Vici' here at this level July 22. In good form and he should be in this at the finish with his normal effort.
