Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (FASTIDIOUS) (10-1) - Longshot is dropping in class, switching from grass to dirt, and trainer Mark Hennig is adding blinkers. $135K purchase has a solid chance at a big price.
2nd pick: #9 (Mr Neetie) (6-1) - He's racing third back off an eight week break and is another going turf to dirt. Gelding has early speed, blinkers on, and John Velazquez stay aboard.
3rd pick: #3 (Blameiton Brooklyn) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, he's been out of action for 15 months. $200K purchase missed by less that a length in his only start, in Aug. of 2015 at Saratoga. NEW gelding is working steadily and drops in class. An obvious win candidate, but at a short price.
4th pick: #5 (Fletcher Is Golden) (12-1) - Another longshot, he's dropping into a claimer for the first time. Gelding is in a good barn (Danny Gargan) and may get a slice of this at a big price.
