Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (BOWIE'SHERO) (9-2) - He's working steadily for his first race since July 19 when he rallied to win the Oceanside Stakes on this course going a mile. He's stretching out a furlong here, and that gives him a slight edge in a wide open G2 stakes.

2nd pick: #6 (Fashion Business) (8-1) - Fast finisher has been beaten by a 'head' in two straight at this meet. English import ran out of ground last out in the La Jolla Stakes here going 8.5 furlongs Aug. 6. Nearing his peak, he should love this nine-furlong trip. Price play.

3rd pick: #5 (Sharp Samurai) (7-2) - He's won two stakes in a row, the latest here Aug. 6 when he was a 'head' better than 'Fashion Business.' He has more positional speed than most and is an obvious win candidate.

4th pick: #10 (Big Score) (3-1) - He always comes to give his best, and he's gone 8-3-2-1 on the grass with just under $400,000 in earnings. Working steadily, he has blinkers on for his first back from a two-month freshening.
