Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (WAY STRIKING) (9-5) - Home bred is stretching out in distance after finishing a distant second when debuting in late June at Canterbury Park at this level going five furlongs. Working well for his return, son of 'Smart Strike' is in the barn of leading trainer Bob Diodoro (35% off of long layoffs).
2nd pick: #5 (Abridleandaprayer) (7-2) - He raced evenly following a troubled break when debuting here at this level going 6.5-furlongs March 5. He's brought back quickly and is bred to like this longer distance.
3rd pick: #1 (Photohound) (5-2) - Rare Wyoming bred, raced evenly while checking in fourth of seven, beaten 2 1/2 lengths racing at this level going 7.5-furlongs on the grass Feb 10. A useful debut, capable barn (Shawn Davis) moves him to the dirt and adds blinkers.
