Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (SPENDAHOLIC) (4-1) - A 3yo by 'Square Eddie,' he's racing second back following an eight-month layoff and is switching from turf to dirt. He tired late after showing good early speed here sprinting on the grass at this level Aug. 8. Back in 10 days, he's back on the dirt, has the rail, and gets top billing.
2nd pick: #8 (Claim of Passion) (5-1) - A gelding by the speedy G1 winning 'Acclamation,' he tired last out after showing good early speed racing wide in a one mile grass contest here July 17. It was a big move forward off his sprint debut June 15, and he should factor as he shortens up in distance and switches to the main track.
3rd pick: #3 (Jetovator) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, he enters of a pair of solid back-to-back dirt sprints at this level. His speed/stalking style fits the contest, and he's in the win mix at a short price.
