Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (DIGITAL SOFTWARE) (5-2) - From the barn of Chad Brown, this colt has been competitive racing twice in Kentucky, once each at Keeneland and Churchill Downs. He's been in with talented fields in both, and Brown drops him into a claimer for the first time, a strong 41% winning angle.
2nd pick: #7 (Gunman) (4-1) - This beautifully bred 3yo has only made one start so far. That came when he finished a wide and even 3rd while going six furlongs at Belmont on Oct. 20. Working steadily, Todd Pletcher drops him into a claimer (32%) and is stretching him out in distance (22%). This gelding by 'War Front' is dangerous if ready.
3rd pick: #4 (Scanno) (9-2) - The field's most experienced maiden, this speed/stalker by 'Bernardini' has been competitive in all 10 starts on the grass. 3yo finished 3rd here at this tag and trip July 16 and should be involved every step.
4th pick: #1a (Freedom Force) (7-2) - This colt by 'American Pharoah' is lightly raced and runs today off a private trainer change to Mike Maker, 16% with new arrivals since Jan. 1 of 2019. A $600,000 purchase, this Florida-bred has a stalking style, has been in with some tough groups, and is in a claimer for the first time. In the mix.
