Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (BILLY BATTS) (3-1) - He has an experience edge on these and ships from Ellis Park where he ran second at this level and distance July 6. A $200K purchase by 'City Zip', he's from the barn of Peter Miller and is eligible for a large bonus as an out of state shipper if he wins this.
2nd pick: #5 (Drasario) (7-2) - One of two Irish imports, he finished 3rd of 14, beaten a length when debuting at Limerick in his home land going 7 furlongs Jun 15. He worked fast here Aug 1 and has Lasix added which is not permitted in European jurisdictions.
3rd pick: #7 (Power Source) (5-1) - The other Irish bred, he exits the same last race as 'Drasario' and was less than a length in back of that rival. Colt has breezed twice locally and is also racing with Lasix added.
4th pick: #4 (War Beast) (9-2) - Well backed here July 28 at this level and distance, he raced wide before weakening late to miss by 6 lengths. Colt looked dangerous turning for home and should move forward off that effort.
