Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (NEOLITHIC) (7-2) - One of two entered by trainer Todd Pletcher and he pair race uncoupled. Lightly-raced and well bred, he rallied to finish second here at this level and distance Aug 6. It was his first since last December and he's worked fast twice since. Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #13 (Ekhlaas) (6-1) - Shadwell home bred is lightly-raced, speedy, and he just missed here at this level and distance on a sloppy surface July 31. A strong win candidate
3rd pick: #4 (Beeks) (10-1) - Recent maiden winner did so here in style July 29. He went wire-to-wire at this trip and stopped the clock in a swift 1:22.80. Well bred, expensive, and a serious looking threat.
4th pick: #9 (New York Chrome) (5-1) - New York bred moves in with open company for this attempt. He's won three in a row and earned a career best 'figure' here facing weaker July 31.
5th pick: #12 (Gray Sky) (15-1) - Longshot finished third here in a swiftly run contest facing weaker Aug 10. He's kept good company right along and he seems to like this distance. May get a piece of this at a big price.
