Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (THERAPIST) (6-1) - Price play has won two in a row and state-bred scored an easy win here going a mile in a minor stakes Aug. 6. Stalker is in career-best form, should like this 9-furlong distance, and has a good shot at 'juicy' odds.
2nd pick: #1 (Up the Ante) (7-2) - From the same barn (Chris Clement) as 'Therapist' and the pair race as separate betting interests. Speedy sort was an easy wire-to-wire winner of Belmont's one mile $100K Manila Stakes July 4, has the rail, and is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #9 (Maraud) (9-2) - Colt seems to thrive on being active and he's gone 10-4-1-2 during his career, all on the grass. He missed by a 'nose' here to today's rival 'Raging Bull' Aug. 3 in a G2 and should like this afternoon's longer distance.
4th pick: #2 (March to the Arch) (10-1) - Live Oak home bred ships from Woodbine where he won a $110K turf stakes at this distance July 28. He's worked here three times since arriving from Canada and has Jose Ortiz aboard for this attempt.
