Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (BREAKING THE RULES) (5-2) - Lightly-raced and beautifully bred, Phipps runner by 'War Front' finished second at this level going 6.5 furlongs at Belmont July 7. He's clearly improving for the patient 'Shug' McGaughey and 3yo worked a very sharp half-mile here July 29. He gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Patternrecognition) (2-1) - Freshened up for the past two months, lightly-raced 5yo finished second at this level and distance June 10 at Belmont Park. It was his second start back following six months on the sidelines and this Chad Brown-trained runner finished second in both local starts last year. A serious contender,
3rd pick: #3 (Mask) (3-1) - Another from the barn of Chad Brown, this son of 'Tapit' is another who is lightly-raced. He's been freshened up since June 9 when he finished a wide and even fourth in a $150K stakes going 8.5 furlongs at Belmont Park. $685,000 purchase must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #2 (Phi BetaExpress) (8-1) - Speedy sort tired to finish 4 lengths in back of 'Breaking the Rules' last out, but is capable of holding down a share at a big price with his best.
