Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (CALCULATOR) (5-2) - Late in 2014 this grey colt was considered possible 'Triple Crown' material when he finished 2nd to 'American Pharoah' in a pair of G1 stakes. However he was injured after winning his 3yo debut Jan 10 of 2015 and did not race again for 13-months. He's run well is several dirt stakes and finished 3rd here going a mile in his turf debut July 23. Working fast since, trainer Pete Miller is cutting him back in distance. Ready to win.

2nd pick: #9 (Secreto Primero) (5-1) - His career has been saved since he came back from a 15.5-month layoff in late May. He's a perfect 3 for 3 on the grass since then and he won here at this trip Aug 3. Dangerous today.

3rd pick: #5 (No Silent) (9-2) - Old timer has gone 24-6-7-3 overall on the grass with two of his wins coming here at this distance. One run type is racing 2nd back off a 3-month layoff and must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #1 (Holy Lute) (6-1) - He raced both wide and evenly here in a stakes at this trip Aug 12. It was his first race in 5.5-months and he finished on even terms with 'No Silent'. Stretch runner draws a tough post and will need to work out a traffic free trip.
