Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (AMERICAN ANTHEM) (3-1) - Talented 3-year-old is working extremely fast for this attempt. A G2 winner at Belmont June 10, he enters off a third place finish Aug. 26 at Saratoga going seven furlongs in the H. Allen Jerkens Stakes (G1). Stalker looks set for a big effort.

2nd pick: #6 (Roy H) (8-5) - He rallied to finish second to today's rival 'Ransom the Moon' July 29 at Del Mar in the G1 Bing Crosby Stakes. He was bothered most of the race by the rider-less favorite who dumped his jockey soon after the break. A winner of three straight prior to that and an obvious win candidate this afternoon.

3rd pick: #1 (Ransom the Moon) (5-2) - He's won two of his last three, all G2 sprints and was beaten a 'neck' in his lone defeat. Five-year-old had a perfect trip when 1.5 lengths in front of 'Roy H' last out while that foe had all sorts of traffic woes. He has the rail, is working fast, and has been razor sharp in all three local outings.
