Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (REACH FOR YIELD) (6-1) - Price play moves from dirt to turf in his first off a Dave Jacobson claim. Gelding by 'Curlin' has more speed than most and has won on the grass in the past. New trainer wins at a 26% rate first off the claim and it's noted that Castellano is aboard.

2nd pick: #1 (Riviere Du Loop) (3-1) - Lightly-raced 5-year-old spent the first part of his career in France and won two of five there before coming to North America. Son of 'Ghostzapper' has been competitive in all four starts since relocating and is a win threat from his inside post.

3rd pick: #7 (Skill Not Luck) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, lightly-raced 3-year-old rallied to finish second here at this level and distance Sept 23. It was his second back off a nine month layoff and first ever on the grass. A 'head' better than 'Riviere' last out and an obvious win candidate at a short price.
