Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (BUILD TO SUIT) (2-1) - A very lightly raced 5yo from the barn of Chad Brown, this gelding has gone 9-5-2-2 and is 4-2-2-0 at this distance. One-run type was an easy winner here at this trip facing 'open' company Sept. 14 and gets top billing.
2nd pick: #8 (Gold for the King) (4-1) - Veteran is racing third back from a 5.5 month layoff and his connections have had this race in mind. He missed by just under a length in this stakes a year ago and draws a fine outside post for his stalking style.
3rd pick: #2 (T Loves a Fight) (8-1) - As hard-hitting as they come, he's gone 31-11-4-2 on the dirt and enters off a sharp win here going 7 furlongs facing 'open' 1X allowance foes Oct. 10. He was less than a length behind 'Gold for the King' in a sprint stakes Aug. 4 at Saratoga and is a threat at a square price.
4th pick: #4 (I Luv Lulu) (9-2) - The main speed, this old timer is racing in this stakes for the fourth straight year. He's gone 52-11-12-9 on the dirt, runs third back from a 3.5 month break, and Irad Ortiz Jr. is aboard for Jay Servis who has won with 15 of 43 (35%) at this meet.
