Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (MR BUFF) (8-5) - He's one of many hard-hitting veterans entered in this 9 furlong $100K stakes. Broman home bred was an easy winner going 8,5 furlongs June 30 at Belmont in his second back off a two month break. 5yo is 5 for 7 at this distance racing around two-turns and speed/stalker gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #4 (Dynamax Prime) (5-1) - Another 5yo, he has a wonderful record on the dirt 28-8-7-7 and last out he checked in a distant second to 'Mr Buff' at Belmont June 3. A strong finisher, he would benefit if another runner makes that rival work hard in the first half-mile, and there are several entered who are eligible to do so.
3rd pick: #1 (Vincento) (8-1) - This veteran has won two in a row and defeated 'open' allowance foes at this trip here July 11. He seems to thrive on keeping busy and his speed/stalking style, inside post, and having Jose Ortiz back on the re-ride are all positives.
4th pick: #3 (Sea Foam) (8-1) - He chased the pace of 'Mr Buff' last out before tiring to finish behind both that rival and 'Dynamax Prime'. A home bred by 'Medaglia d'Oro', he won a $100K stakes here at this distance last summer and his speed/stalking ability must be respected at a big price.
