Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (OUR COUNTRY) (3-1) - Colt had some serious traffic issues when he finished fourth when debuting here at this distance July 13. Heavily backed next out (Aug. 3) under similar conditions, he was a visually impressive maiden winner by almost 6 lengths. He's worked since and think he can win his stakes debut.

2nd pick: #8 (Field Pass) (7-2) - He's been sharp in both attempts and broke his maiden here at this distance July 13. Stretch runner has been given almost 7 weeks to grow and mature, and has had for local maintenance works since July 29.

3rd pick: #1 (Tuggle) (5-2) - Speedy sort stretches out in distance and is on the grass, both for the first time. He has the rail, is the fastest from the gate, Jose Ortiz is aboard for the first time, and trainer Jeremiah Englehart has won with 31-of-126 (25%) on the distance stretch in 2018-19.
