Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (EXCITING) (7-2) - Lightly raced and well bred, gelding 'Midnight Lute' chased and held to finish a close up fourth here at this level and distance Sept. 28. Just behind a pair of today's rivals that evening, he's one of two entered by Karl Broberg and they race as separate betting interests.
2nd pick: #3 (Dance to My Song) (4-1) - The second of the Broberg trained pair, state bred missed by less than a length at this trip in a stakes for fellow Oklahoma breds Sept. 27. It was his first ever on the grass and earned him a career best figure. A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Burtnjoe) (6-1) - Since a poor effort April 20 at Oaklawn Park, this 5yo has gone 4-2-1-0. He won here at this trip facing weaker Sept. 3, then missed by a length at this level Sept. 28. Speed/stalker breaks just off the rail and should be involved from gate-to-wire.
4th pick: #6 (No Lak of Speed) (5-1) - He was beaten a length here at this level and distance Sept. 28 and was just in front of both 'BurtnJoe' and 'Exciting' that evening. It was his first ever on the grass and validated his recent dirt form. In the mix.
