Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (BEBEAU) (5-2) - A $400K gelding by 'Bernardini', he's been on the sidelines since Jan. 17. The 3yo has faced tougher in both starts and did finish second when debuting at a mile Dec. 15 at Gulfstream Park. In steady training locally since late June, the Pletcher barn drops him into a maiden claimer, a 40% winning angle (25 0f 63) n 2018-19.
2nd pick: #8 (Super Silver) (3-1) - This grey gelding set the pace and held gamely to finish second, beaten a length here at this level and distance July 19. 4yo draws a tough outside post, but is a serious threat if able to avoid a wide trip.
3rd pick: #3 (Oso Negro) (6-1) - An expensive ($440,000) son of 'Medaglia d'Oro' he rallied to finish a distant second here at this trip for a $20K tag July 12. Claimed from Chad Brown by Eric Gullot that afternoon, he doubles him up in price for this attempt. A fast and/or contested pace would help his chances out.
4th pick: #1 (Burn and Turn) (10-1) - A NEW gelding, he hasn't raced since April 7 at Keeneland. A $150K 3yo by 'Lookin At Lucky', he's had solid excuses in both starts facing tougher. In a claimer off the layoff, he has a ground saving post and is capable of factoring at a big price.
