Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (PUT IT FORWWARD) (7-2) - Freshened up for almost two months, veteran gelding is dropping way down in class while moving from grass to dirt. Speed/stalker is nicely spoted by trainer Dan Gargan and he has Jose Ortiz aboard.
2nd pick: #1 (Bambisfrostyracer) (8-1) - Consistent 6-year-old comes off a good season at Finger Lakes. Stalker went 8-2-3-1 there and earlier in his career he was a winner on the NYRA circuit. His outside post is a negative, but his early speed is a big plus.
3rd pick: #4 (Finding Candy) (5-1) - Gelding stretches back out in his third start following a four month layoff. Capable at this level and distance, he's a solid fit with these with his best effort.
4th pick: #8 (Yakov) (4-1) - Speedy old timer races second following a claim by owner/trainer Dave Jacobson. Barn brings him back in one week and this once classier type should be involved from start-to-finish.
