Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (DESERVED) (4-1) - Home bred son of 'Flatter' raced both wide and evenly when debuting at Saratoga going 6-furlongs Aug 8. He's worked twice since, including a bullet half-mile breeze at the 'Spa' Aug 31. Trainer Bill Mott has him going a mile today and this colt has a solid shot at a square price.

2nd pick: #7 (Toughest 'Ombre) (3-1) - The morning line favorite, he debuted in the same Aug 8 race as 'Deserved.' Colt set a pressured pace and held until mid-stretch when he weakened to finish fifth. Trainer Tom Albertrani went 2-for-2 on yesterday's 'opening day' here and he adds Lasix for this attempt. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #2 (Giant Run) (10-1) - $200K son of 'Giant's Causeway' is from the same barn (Tom Albertrani) as 'Toughest 'Ombre' and the pair race uncoupled. Colt ran evenly in a Saratoga sprint when debuting Aug 1 and has worked four times since. Interesting long shot.

4th pick: #6 (Tricky Citizen) (15-1) - He showed a bit of speed before tiring badly when debuting at the 'Spa.' Colt was 'cold' on the board that day, but has worked five times since. Good second-out barn (Michelle Nevin {25%}) stretches him out and he could grab a share at a big price.
