Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (GONE A LIL LU HU) (5-2) - An improving homebred, he's stretching out to a mile after being competitive in a pair of local sprints at this level. 4yo by 'Captain Bodgit' gets a slim edge.
2nd pick: #2 (Raisin Candy Bar) (2-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, he chased the pace and held down the place spot here at this level and distance July 30. It was career-best, his first around two turns, and he's worked fast since. A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Emmet Cat) (12-1) - Not a strong win candidate as he's finished behind 'Gone A Lil Lu Lu' and 'Raisin Candy Bar' in their last pair. He does have the rail, and with a patient ride, he is capable of getting a share at a big price.
