Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (EMMETT PARK) (3-1) - He's stretching out in distance after finishing second here at this level going 6.5 furlongs Aug 5. A career best, it came in his first off a Chris Hartman claim. Five-year-old has done his best work at this trip (9-2-2-2) and will be tough in this spot.

2nd pick: #6 (Winning Causeway) (6-1) - Lightly-raced and well bred, 5-year-old is racing first off a Bob Diodoro claim (22%). Gelding rated, bid, then leveled off here July 31 at this level and distance. It was his first start ever on real dirt and think he can factor at a square price.

3rd pick: #7 (Prettyboyfloyd) (4-1) - New Mexico invader is racing for the first time since late April. He's gone 23-2-6-5, all on real dirt and has run well at this trip without wining. Working steadily and he's dropping to a new low.

4th pick: #2 (Zim N the Mailman) (5-1) - Even-paced type should save ground from his inside post and he fits with his best. Needs to do a bit better in the final furlong.
