Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (MAINFRAME JUDY) (3-1) - This gelding was heavily bet (9-10) when debuting here facing tougher Aug. 16. He was involved in a pace duel after breaking sharply from his outside post (10 of 10) before weakening late to finish 4th. Trainer Peter Miller, 18% second time out, drops him into a claimer, a 33% winning angle since Jan. 1 of 2018.
2nd pick: #9 (Temple Bar) (4-1) - He tired while wide debuting against tougher sprinting on the grass Aug. 7, He's worked twice since, drops in class, and is switching to the dirt. In he mix.
3rd pick: #8 (Itsthattime) (5-1) - A NEW gelding, he tired as the favorite facing $80,000 claimers debuting here July 26. He worked fast Aug. 20 and is dropping in class for his second attempt. I think he'll be competitive in this spot.
4th pick: #11 (Champers) (9-2) - Grey colt finished a distant 2nd when debuting July 26. He was 2.5 lengths in front of 'Itsthattime,' but draws a tough post here, and he'll need to break more alertly to have any shot at winning this.
