Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (ODIN'S STEED) (7-2) - One of two entered by trainer Charlie Baker, and the pair race uncoupled. On the sidelines since June of 2018, he's been competitive in all three starts, is working fast, and Baker is adding blinkers. 4yo can win this if ready.
2nd pick: #1 (Seven is Heaven) (2-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, this 3yo rallied following a slow start to finish 3rd at this level and distance Aug. 10 at Saratoga. $100K purchase worked fast Sept. 1, has the rail, and Jose Ortiz stays aboard. An obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Coolboy) (12-1) - This longshot has early speed and has picked up minor awards in five of his 11 starts. This field is very weak for the level, and this 3yo must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #3 (The Honest Toun) (4-1) - No speed type is a NEW gelding and is switching back to the dirt while cutting back in distance. He's had problems breaking cleanly in his last pair, but has a fine series of works on view, and is dangerous with a clean getaway.
