Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (REVEREND GREEN) (5-2) - Lightly-raced 3-year-old just failed to hold on at this claiming price going 7-furlongs at Saratoga Aug 17. It was the second straight time that he had problems at the break and can take this with a trouble free getaway. Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #3 (Doc Curlin) (12-1) - Long shot is dropping in class and racing on the dirt for the first time. He's shown some talent on the grass and there's no reason this gelding by 'Curlin' shouldn't handle the main track. Price play.
3rd pick: #4 (Shadow Rider) (4-1) - Lightly-raced, he runs off seven week break and first off a John Toscano Jr. claim (17%). Three-year-old rallied to finish second at Saratoga going 1 1/8th miles on the dirt for a $30K tag the day he was claimed (Aug 6). Training steadily and a threat from off the pace.
4th pick: #2 (Mill Creek) (8-1) - The field's most experienced maiden, he's moving from turf to dirt and dropping in class. He's been competitive on the dirt in the past and is working fast for this attempt.
