Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (LATER CAT) (7-5) - This $100,000 gelding by 'Tale of the Cat' just missed debuting here facing tougher May 4. Very wide in his next pair, 3yo is taking a big drop into claiming land today and should break his maiden.
2nd pick: #7 (Kazmandude) (6-1) - A lightly raced home bred, grey gelding has finished third in both starts, the latest coming at this level and distance Aug. 7 at Saratoga. 3yo has enough speed to avoid a wide trip and he ships up from Monmouth following a sharp half-mile breeze Sept. 9.
3rd pick: #3 (Fortune Smiles) (5-1) - A NEW gelding, 3yo by 'Lookin At Lucky' finished third here at this level and distance June 30 before tiring after setting a pressured pace Aug. 7 at Saratoga. He's worked three times for this attempt and think he'll be competitive at a square price.
4th pick: #1 (Our Honor) (9-2) - On the sidelines since May 24, he tired here that day going 8.5 furlongs. The 4yo was beaten a length at this tag sprinting May 10 and has a solid series of works showing for his return.
