Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (MALIBU STYLE) (3-1) - Very lightly-raced, speedy gelding has been freshened up since June 12 when he tired badly here at this trip facing entry-level allowance foes. Working steadily, he had a bullet half-mile breeze here Aug 15 (best of 68 that morning). Trainer Brian Lynch drops him in class and has the 'red hot' Joel Rosario aboard.
2nd pick: #2 (Ogermeister) (5-2) - Gelding is moving from dirt to turf in his first off a Gary Gullo claim. Stalker missed by a 'neck' here on the main track going 7-furlongs for a $25K tag the day he changed barns (Sep 11). Fits and he's been competitive in three of four on the grass in the past.
3rd pick: #3 (Luv Dakota Style) (6-1) - New York bred continues to race evenly facing tougher. Grey gelding is dropping down in class and finished second here at it May 30. Castellano stays aboard and this 4-year-old is a stretch threat.
4th pick: #9 (Excellent Royale) (6-1) - Irish import is racing third back off an 11-month layoff. He is moving from dirt to turf, moves back up in class, and trainer George Weaver adds Lasix (a 20% winning angle).
