Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (DOWSE'S BEACH) (5-2) - As consistent as they come, he ships back from Woodbine where he missed by a 'neck' going seven furlongs in a G2 grass stakes Aug. 19. He had won two in a row at Belmont prior to that and has won thee of four in the past on the Saratoga turf, each at this 5.5 furlong distance.

2nd pick: #6 (Big Rock) (9-2) - 5-year-old moves up in class following a win here at this distance Aug. 3. Stalker is now a perfect three for three on the Saratoga turf and all of those were at this trip. He finished second to 'Dowse's Beach' July 2 at Belmont and is a danger in this spot.

3rd pick: #8 (Loose On the Town) (3-1) - Lightly raced 5-year-old moves back to the grass following a pair of second place finishes on the dirt. Speed/stalker has won two of four on the grass in the past including a sharp win at this distance at Keeneland April 23.

4th pick: #2 (Ready for Rye) (6-1) - He's been keeping mostly top company on both dirt and turf over the past two years. He hasn't been on the grass since June 16 of 2016 when he finished a close up third in the Jaipur Stakes (G3) at Belmont. Can factor with his best.
