Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (CAPTAIN MOSS) (3-1) - Colt is dropping down a bit after a wide trip and third-place finish here going 6-furlongs Sept 26. Nice effort came in his third back from a 2 1/2 month layoff. Three-year-old moves from an outside post to the rail and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #2 (Spearhead) (9-5) - The morning line favorite, he's been freshened up since Aug 8. He's gone 6-1-3-2 racing on the dirt, has a speed/stalking style, and colt is dropping down into a claimer for the first time. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Sherifico) (6-1) - Lightly-raced and well bred, he's working steadily for his first start since April 2. Speedy sort broke his maiden in wire-to-wire that day at Aqueduct racing for a $30K tag. He draws a fine outside post in this small field and is a threat if ready off the 6 1/2 month layoff.
4th pick: #4 (Hillbilly Style) (4-1) - No-speed type is dropping in class, cutting back in distance, and races with blinkers back on after a negative one-race experiment. Working fine and a factor down the stretch.
