Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #12 (IRISH FILIBUSTER) (7-2) - Ramsey owned colt has been on the sidelines since Feb 27. He's been competitive in all four grass starts and they each came against tougher. Strong finisher is dropping into a claimer for the first time and gets a slight edge if ready. The top pick, but make sure you box your exactas with him.
2nd pick: #11 (Agronomy) (4-1) - Blinkers go on gelding who is switching from dirt to turf and is dropping in class. Speedy sort is racing second back from a break and has Javier Castellano back on the re-ride.
3rd pick: #14 (Catapult Jack) (6-1) - Lightly-raced and improving, he finished a perfect trip second here at this level and distance Sept. 9. A career best effort, he moves from the inside to the 14 post. Grey gelding is a factor if able to avoid a wide journey.
4th pick: #10 (Southern Union) (5-1) - Speed/stalker has een competitive in six straight starts at this level. He likes this distance 3-0-2-1 and should be involved from start-to-finish at a square price.
5th pick: #1 (Peculiar Sensation) (5-1) - Stalker stretches out a furlong following a second placefinish here at this level going six furlongs Sept. 22. Consistent sort, he needs a heady ride from his inside post in this large group (12) for anything more than a minor award.
