Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (REDISCOVER) (2-1) - Speedy and well bred, 4-year-old is racing first off a Rudy Rodriguez claim (a strong 31% winning angle). Freshened up since Sept. 2, gelding by 'Bernardini' has the rail and Irad Ortiz Jr. aboard.

2nd pick: #6 (River Echo) (3-1) - English import has raced evenly in all three starts in North America since returning from an 8.5 month break July 15. He lost to an uncoupled barn mate last out and trainer Bill Mott is dropping him into a claimer for the first time (19%).

3rd pick: #8 (Dark Gemini) (7-2) - Irish bred 3-year-old rallied while very wide to finish second at this level and distance Aug. 12 at Saratoga. Un-raced since then, he had a sharp half-mile local breeze just six days ago. Stretch threat.

4th pick: #4 (Prognostication) (6-1) - Very lightly-raced colt has some changes today for his first since May 28. Trainer Chad Brown (27% off of long layoffs) switches him from dirt to turf (19%), and drops him into a claimer (a strong 44% winning angle). A threat if ready.
