Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (SARATOGA GIRO) (7-2) - Consistent speed/stalker moves to the grass for the first time. He finished 2nd here at this condition going 6.5 furlongs on the dirt here July 29. Bred to handle the turf, he can take this field from start-to-finish from his inside post.

2nd pick: #11 (Black Tide) (12-1) - Longshot has been freshened up since June 17. Stalker is working fast and draws a nice outside post at this distance. Fits with these and is a serious threat at a big price.

3rd pick: #3 (Grand Sky) (3-1) - The probable favorite, strong finisher missed by a 1/2-length here at this level and distance Aug. 6th. It earned him a career best 'figure,' and this $300,000 purchase is an obvious win candidate.

4th pick: #2 (Heated Verdict) (8-1) - Lightly raced, he returns from a 10-month layoff as a NEW gelding. He showed speed and talent last year and is a threat if ready.
