Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (SEKING REFUGE) (5-2) - He rallied while wide to finish second here at this trip for a $62,500 tag Aug. 9. Grey colt drops to a new low for this attempt and the horse that defeated him last out ran well here this past Saturday in his follow up.
2nd pick: #2 (Takeo) (7-2) - One of several dropping out of special weights, home bred has early speed, breaks just off the rail, and should be involved from gate-to-wire.
3rd pick: #8 (Speakerofthehouse) (5-1) - Price play raced evenly last out while only 1.5 lengths behind 'Seeking Refuge'. He takes the same drop and runs without blinkers after nine starts with that equipment in place.
4th pick: #3 (Volubile) (6-1) - Another dropping into a claimer for the first time, well bred gelding had a poor start and was beaten only 3 lengths here facing tougher July 27 in his first race since Feb 23. He should factor today.
