Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (WILD ONE FOREVER) (8-5) - A lightly raced gelding by 'City Zip,' he's been freshened up since finishing a pace-setting 2nd here at this level and distance May 2. By far a career best, it was his second back following an eight-week layoff, and he gets a slight edge today.
2nd pick: #9 (Mystic Times) (2-1) - The main danger, he's shortening up in distance after finishing a pace-setting 2nd here at this level going a mile June 29. Competitive in all three attempts, trainer George Weaver brings him back in nine days while shortening him up.
3rd pick: #2 (Bridgetothefuture) (20-1) - This longshot hasn't shown much, but he has an inside post, is cutting back in distance, and is dropping back down. Gelding earned a career best figure last out and may hold down the 3rd spot today at a big price with a patient ride.
