Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #13 (CALVI) (2-1) - Note: This race has been taken 'off the turf' and switched to the main track. NEW gelding switches to the dirt in his first start since July 7. He finished 2nd that day on the Monmouth turf, meets a weak field today, and should break his maiden. The only negative is his outside post.
2nd pick: #6 (American Colossus) (4-1) - Colt races first off a Clyde Martin claim (14%) and he moves him up slightly for this attempt. 3yo rallied to finish 4th of 7, beaten 4 lengths going a mile for a $12,500 tag the day he was claimed (Aug 20). Think he'll factor in this spot.
3rd pick: #5 (More Than Teddy) (8-1) - 4yo has had a lot of chances (17) with all of those starts coming on the turf. He's been competitive in 5 of his last 6 and is a serious threat with the hot riding Carol Cedeno aboard.
4th pick: #1 (Nile Kingdom) (5-1) - He's switching back to the dirt after a good effort here on the grass Sep 6. In a winning barn (Jerenesto Torrez), colt has the rail, some early speed, and must be left in the mix.
