Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (GUN RUNNER) (6-5) - By far the most accomplished runner in this field, he's gone 15-8-3-2 overall, and has banked a bit over $4.5M in earnings. Working fast since winning the prestigious Stephen Foster Handicap (G1) at Churchill June 17, he has a big tactical advantage today with his sharp early speed. He'll be very tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #5 (Keen Ice) (3-1) - Best known for defeating Triple Crown winner 'American Pharoah' here in the 2015 Travers Stakes (G1), he won for the first time since he won by three lengths at Belmont in the Suburban Stakes (G2) July 8. Strong finisher needs someone to try and soften up 'Gun Runner' in the early stages for his best chance at a possible upset.
3rd pick: #1 (War Story) (6-1) - The high energy barn of George Navarro has freshened this 5yo up since he was an easy winner going 12 furlongs at Belmont in the Brooklyn Handicap (G2) June 10. Working fast for his return, he draws a ground saving post and should factor late with his 'A' game.
