Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (SHARE THE UPSIDE) (4-1) - Freshened up since July 27, this gelding is working sharply for his return. He's been sharp in both previous starts at this level racing at Indiana Downs and broke his maiden when debuting at Oaklawn Park March 22. He gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #2 (Curate) (9-5) - $575,000 gelded son of 'Bernardini' was late getting to the races as he didn't make his debut until Aug. 25 at Ellis Park. However, he was an easy 4.5-length winner that day at this distance and completed the trip in a snappy 1:09.60. The figure earned was the highest of any entered, and he's an obvious win candidate at a short price.
3rd pick: #4 (Chaos Theory) (9-2) - Unraced since April 22, $260K colt by 'Curlin' is working fast for his return. Competitive in both starts, stretch runner enters off a bullet half-mile from the gate here Oct. 6, and it was the best of 121 horses at that distance.
4th pick: #3 (Bye Bye Birdstone) (10-1) - Longshot moves back to the dirt after breaking his maiden Sept. 2 sprinting on the Ellis Park turf. This stalker may grab a minor award at a big price.
