Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (MANDATORY PAYOUT) (9-5) - He's moving up in class and shortening up a furlong after missing by a 1/2 length going 7 furlongs for a $16K tag at this 2l condition. He has a speed/stalking style and will be tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #2 (Bucked Tooth) (6-1) - Maryland shipper drops in class and switches back to the dirt following an even effort sprinting on the Laurel grass facing tougher Sept. 6. Lightly raced 3yo was a sharp gate-to-wire maiden winner there Aug. 9 in his first race in almost five months and is a threat at a square price.
3rd pick: #5 (Bustin Hoffman) (5-2) - New York bred takes a big drop in class while moving in with 'open'company. He finished a sharp third July 28 at Saratoga facing better, then had a very wide trip there Aug. 21. He must be left in the mix.
