Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (BIG GRAY ROCKET) (2-1) - The probable favorite, grey son of 'Tapit' broke slowly in his debut here going 5.5 furlongs Aug. 13th. Behind by 10 lengths, $450K purchase rallied strongly to finish 2nd. He's worked fast since, and he should love the additional furlong he travels in this spot.
2nd pick: #9 (Antioch) (7-2) - Colt rallied from close range to check in 3rd, just under a length behind 'Big Gray Rocket' Aug. 13th. He's breezed twice since and is an obvious threat.
3rd pick: #2 (Bourque) (12-1) - The field's most experienced runner, he's going grass to dirt and is shortening up in distance. Capable of getting a share at a big price.
4th pick: #12 (Whiskey n Roses) (20-1) - Debuting colt has worked here seven times since July 18. Most are above average, and longshot draws a trouble free post at this distance. He could grab a slice at a very big price.
5th pick: #1 (Predict) (8-1) - Debuting colt by 'Hard Spun' is working fast, but must over-come the rail post first out. If he breaks with his field, he may factor.
