Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (VALUE ENGINEERING) (2-1) - A lightly raced colt by 'Lemon Drop Kid' he sold for $250,000 as a yearling back in Sept of 2017. Unraced as a 2yo, he's been sharp in both starts this year for trainer Chad Brown. Working steadily for his first since May 19, he has a ground saving post, Castellano stays aboard, and I like this one's chances.
2nd pick: #7 (Overbold) (9-2) - A $500K son of 'Uncle Mo', he has early speed and was beaten just a 'neck' at this level going 10 furlongs at Belmont July 3. Working steadily since, he should be involved every step.
3rd pick: #3 (Tiberius Mercurius) (6-1) - Colt has been freshened up since June 14 when he finished a wide third going a mile at Belmont. Son of 'The Factor' has a new trainer, Mike Maker, and he has Luis Saez aboard. In the mix.
4th pick: #4 (Bail Out) (3-1) - Phipp's home bred has has finished second in three straight and in four of his last Five. Stretch runner meets a lightly raced field where he's the only older runner and has an experience edge on most.
