Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (UNCLE BENNY) (2-1) - Talented colt makes his first start since missing by a 1/2 length in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (G1) going a mile at Churchill Downs Nov. 2. A winner of his previous pair, he's from the barn of Jay Servis, 42% off of long layoffs, and can win this if ready.
2nd pick: #7 (Archidust) (5-2) - A $300,000 son of 'Verrazano', colt rallied to win a minor stakes at Monmouth at this distance July 14. It was his first ever on the grass, a career best overall, and he's worked fast since. Trainer Jorge Navarro is having a great year, 129 of 483 (27%), and this promising runner has Javier Castellano aboard.
3rd pick: #5 (The Black Album) (5-1) - A busy French import, he's cutting back in distance after a 'head' win in a $100K one mile stakes at Woodbine. He went 5-3-0-1 sprinting in France last year and trainer Rodolphe Brisset gave him three maintenance breezes here during July. In the mix.
4th pick: #6 (Mount Travers) (12-1) - Longshot is one of two entered by Linda Rice and the pair race uncoupled. This colt moves back to the grass following a pair of good efforts in dirt stakes. In his only previous attempt on the turf, home bred finished third in a $100K stakes going 6 furlongs at Aqueduct April 13.
