Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (PURE SENSATION) (3-1) - One of a pair of veteran turf sprinters from owner Patricia Generazio and they race uncoupled due to the fact that they have different trainers. Speedy 7yo has banked over $1.5M and enters off a win in Philadelphia Park's rich Turf Monster Sprint (G3) Sept. 3. He gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #1 (Disco Partner) (2-1) - The second from the pair from owner Generazio, 6yo is 8-for-13 on the Belmont turf and has a great record at this distance (8-5-2-0). Strong finisher has a ground-saving post, won this race here a year ago, and is an obvious win candidate.

3rd pick: #7 (Pocket Change) (6-1) - Speed/stalker is lightly raced, has talent, and still has room for upside. He just missed in a minor turf stakes Aug. 31 at Saratoga and wasn't far off either 'Pure Sensation' and 'Disco Partner' here n the Jaipur Stakes (G2) June 9. $290,000 son of 'Unbridled's Song' is capable of impacting at a square price.

4th pick: #8 (Gidu) (12-1) - Grey son of international star 'Frankel' moves back to the grass after tiring badly in a G1 dirt sprint Aug. 25 at Saratoga. Competitive in all 7 grass races, he draws a good post and can grab a share at long odds.
