Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (COOKIE CRISP) (8-1) - Longshot is switching from grass to dirt and is cutting back in distance. He missed by a 'nose' here going a mile on the grass for a $40K price tag July 23. Claimed that day by Dave Jacobson (20% off the barn switch) this well bred 4-year-old has run well on the dirt in the past. Has a good chance at a big price.
2nd pick: #7 (Forge) (7-2) - Lightly-raced and speedy, he ships from Monmouth where he finished a tiring third after setting a quick and pressure pace. This $375,000 purchase is dropped into a claimer by trainer Chad Brown (a very strong 36% winning angle). Win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Your Secret's Safe) (5-2) - He rallied strongly to miss by a 1/2 length here going 6.5 furlongs for a $20K price tag July 24. Well bred 3-year-old was claimed that day by Gary Gullo (30% off the switch) and he brings him back with a slight raise off a bullet three furlong work Aug. 21. Dangerous.
4th pick: #3 (One More Round) (6-1) - Four-year-old rallied to finish third here July 24 in his first start since Sept. 15 of 2016. He was four lengths behind 'Your Secret's Safe' that day so he needs to do better in this spot.
