Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (MY BOY TATE) (5-2) - One of two entered by trainer Michelle Nevin and the pair race uncoupled. Freshened up since early April, he's been competitive in all three races to date. Working fast, he has a fine post for the distance and will be tough if ready off the four month layoff.

2nd pick: #3 (Dwizard) (4-1) - One of six making their debuts, this grey colt by 'Macho Uno' is the second of the Michelle Nevin pair. Working fast right along, he had a bullet three furlong gate breeze at Belmont Park Aug 1. Trainer has her 'go to' rider Jose Ortiz aloft and this one looks ready first out.

3rd pick: #5 (Quai Voltaire) (5-1) - By far the field's most experienced maiden, he's gone 11-0-5-2 on the dirt and has finished second in four of eight starts at this distance. Must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #1 (Devilry) (7-2) - Another making his debut, colt is bred for speed and worked a bullet half-mile on the local training track Aug. 4. Can factor with an alert break, but the rail post is a bit tricky first out.
