Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (RUN FOR LOGISTICS) (5-1) - He was overmatched and on the wrong surface when he was beaten soundly at Saratoga in the G1 Forego on the dirt Aug 29. Stalker had finished second in three straight at this level on the grass prior to that and two of those came here. Gets a slight edge at a square price.

2nd pick: #3 (Decent) (9-2) - Lightly-raced and speedy, he rallied from just off the pace to finish third, beaten just under a length when racing at this level going 5.5-furlongs at Saratoga Aug 27. He's been sharp here in both local appearances and is a win candidate.

3rd pick: #4 (The Big Deluxe) (4-1) - Veteran has won nine times overall and is 2-for-5 on the local grass. Grey gelding has a flexible style and fits this group with his best. In the mix.

4th pick: #10 (Speightstown Time) (7-2) - Tough call as he looked sharp when winning his debut Aug 13 at Saratoga. Home bred is working well since, draws a good post to stalk from, but meets a much tougher group in his first facing winners.

5th pick: #6 (Lone Trader) (12-1) - Freshened up since Aug 1, he's cutting back in distance for this attempt. Well bred and lightly-raced, he may grab a minor award at a big price with his best.
