Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (LUNA'S IN CHARGE) (7-2) - He missed by a 1/2 length here at this level going 6 furlongs in his second start back following a 7 month layoff. 3yo has worked since, stretches out a bit, and trainer Phil Bauer has Javier Castellano aboard for the first time. I give this gelding a slight edge.

2nd pick: #7 (Financial Stability) (2-1) - A $290,000 gelded son of 'Midnight Lute', he finished second here when debuting at this level and distance July 24. Trainer Chad Brown is having an unbelievable meet 159-38-36-24 (24%) and he wins at a 29% rate 2nd time out since Jan. 1 of 2018. A win candidate.

3rd pick: #8 (Freaky Styley) (5-2) - Nice debut saw him rally strongly to finish second, 2.5 lengths in front of 'Financial Stability'. He moves out in the gate (a plus) and Joel Rosario stays aboard. This 3yo by 'Scat Daddy' completes the three horse win mix.
