Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (BARELY IMPAZIBLE) (5-2) - $285,000 son of 'Mission Impazible' has been on the sidelines since Aug. 7 of 2017. Colt was an impressive maiden winner here that afternoon going six furlongs as the 7-5 favorite. Working fast locally for his return, trainer Chad Brown wins at a 27% rate off of length layoffs, and this promising 3yo may still have a bright future.

2nd pick: #6 (Charlie McCoy) (9-2) - Lightly raced colt broke his maiden going six furlongs at Belmont Park May 5. He's finished 2nd at this level in both starts at this level, and did so here July 27 going six furlongs. The horse that defeated him that afternoon won again next out, and this 3yo is a win candidate in this spot.

3rd pick: #10 (Wild Colonial Boy) (6-1) - Gelding was an impressive maiden winner here at this distance racing for a $25K price tag Aug. 8. It was his NYRA debut, and this grey 3yo was claimed that afternoon by Linda Rice. New trainers win at a solid 30% first off the claim, and this lightly raced gelding must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #5 (Sicilia Mike) (8-1) - Competitive in three straight, he rallied to finish 2nd here at this level going seven furlongs to a much improved runner who was winning his second in a row. Stretch threat.
