Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (MR VINCENT) (9-2) - He rallied to finish third at this level going 8 1/2 furlongs at Belmont July 6. It was his best since late Oct of 2017 and he's raced himself back into shape following a long layoff (15.5 months). He's worked three times locally and gets a very slim edge in a wide open contest.

2nd pick: #9 (Prince Halo) (6-1) - A lightly raced 3yo by Derby winner 'Orb', he raced wide when finishing about 4 lengths behind 'Mr Vincent' July 6 at Belmont. He had missed by only a 1/2 length there in his previous start and is a win candidate.

3rd pick: #1 (Talespin) (8-1) - He has early speed, the rail, and is racing on the grass for the first time. 3yo tired here after being bumped at the break going 7 furlongs in an 'off the turf' contest July 26 in his first race since late January. Think he's a major threat to go wire-to-wire at a big price.

4th pick: #5 (I'm Elmer J Fudd) (10-1) - Blinkers go on lightly raced 3yo who ran evenly here in a grass sprint at this level Aug 10. Back in 6 days, he's stretching out in distance for the Rodriguez barn, a 20% winning angle.
