Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (JAHAAFEL) (3-1) - Grey gelding just missed when debuting at this level going a mile at Saratoga Aug. 23. Home bred by 'Tapit' has worked twice since and is from a 19% second out barn (Kiaran McLaughlin).
2nd pick: #9 (Go Big Or Go Home) (8-1) - Debuting gelding by 'Ghostzapper' enters off some serious looking works for his first attempt. Longshot is from a capable barn (Ray Handal) and it's noted that Jose Ortiz is interested. Can factor at a big price if ready.
3rd pick: #4 (Now in a Drive) (5-1) - Colt enters off an even effort at Saratoga Aug. 23 a race where he had very serious traffic issues. Sharp in four straight prior to that, 3-year-old by 'Tiznow' ships from the Spa where he worked a near bullet half-mile Sept. 15.
4th pick: #10 (Strong Side) (10-1) - Longshot is the main speed and enters off a pacesetting second place finish at Saratoga facing weaker in a nine furlong contest that was taken 'off the turf.' Capable on the grass and he'll take them as far as he can.
