Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (MY FATHER'S EYES) (3-1) - Colt is one of two entered by leading trainer Steve Asmussen and the pair race uncoupled. He ships from the NYRA circuit where he's tired in both starts facing tougher, one each on dirt and grass. Barn drops him down to a new low and Ramon Vazquez is aboard.
2nd pick: #4 (Strait n' Silent) (2-1) - The second of the pair from the Asmussen barn, he's been on the sidelines since a very wide and even effort sprinting at Ellis park Aug. 18 facing much tougher. Colt by 'Tale of the Cat' drops into a claimer for the first time and is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Derby Dog) (8-1) - An $85,000 son of 'Violence, he's dropping into a claimer for the first time after losing considerable ground in three attempts facing tougher. He's in the mix, but must improve in order to handle either of the Asmussen trained pair.
4th pick: #3 (Downtown Brown) (20-1) - Gelding has tired here in both starts and did not receive any betting support in either. Home bred is from a good barn Bret Calhoun, and may round off the bottom of the tri/and or super at a big price.
