Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (H MAN) (8-5) - Veteran did well to finish 4th at this level and distance Aug. 24 at Saratoga. He had a troubled break then tired late after rushing up to be near the pace. 6yo should receive a fast and/or contest pace to close into and gets top billing today.
2nd pick: #7 (Proletariat) (7-2) - Even paced veteran tired going seven furlongs at this level Aug. 10 at Saratoga. He had finished 3rd in four of his previous five starts and can factor in this one turning for home.
3rd pick: #1 (Wushu Warrior) (4-1) - He enters off a wide and even effort at this level and distance Aug. 24 at Saratoga. Stalker was only a 1/2-length in back of the troubled 'H Man' that afternoon and has won two of four starts at Belmont. Both have come at this distance.
4th pick: #4 (Royal Heist) (8-1) - Longshot has good early speed and broke his maiden on the Saratoga dirt at this distance Aug. 2. Lightly raced 3yo tried the grass in his latest and tired badly from a tough outside post. His early speed makes him a possible threat at a big price.
