Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (WHAT'S TO BLAME) (3-1) - A lightly raced 4yo, he's racing second back following a three-month layoff. Gelding ran 3rd here going 8.5 furlongs for a $75K tag in his return Sept. 12 and is cutting back in distance while take a big drop. He gets top billing.
2nd pick: #5 (Larceny) (8-1) - Longshot had serious traffic issues when finishing 4th here at this level going six furlongs Sept. 8. It was his first race since Dec. 7, and he mostly needed the start for conditioning purposes. 3yo is a win candidate at a square price.
3rd pick: #2 (Monkeyseemonkeydo) (7-2) - A lightly raced 4yo, he showed little here Sept. 12 in his first race since June of 2018. However, he's from the barn of Chad Brown, 27% second off of long layoffs, and is dropping to a new low. Dangerous today.
4th pick: #9 (Loaded Joe) (9-2) - This California invader has early speed and is dropping into a claimer in his first start following a private trainer change to Rob Atras, 27% with new arrivals. He has Irad Ortiz, Jr. aboard, and this shipper should factor.
