Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (AIR VICE MARSHALL) (7-2) - Son of "War Front' was one of most expensive yearlings ever sold. He cost $2,200,000 back in Sept. of 2014, and so far has earned back $116K. However, despite that negative fact, he's been competitive in three straight at this level and enters off a 2nd place finish going a mile Sept. 10. He shortens up a furlong and gets a slight edge here.
2nd pick: #1 (Runaway Posse) (5-1) - Strong finisher rallied from far back to finish a very close up 3rd here at this level going six furlongs Sept. 23. It was his first back off almost an eight-week break, and this veteran has a fine record here at this distance (3-2-0-1). Price play.
3rd pick: #6 (Portrando) (4-1) - Speed/stalker was involved every step here Sept. 23 and was a 'neck' in front of 'Runaway Posse' at the finish. Very consistent 5yo must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #2 (New York Song) (4-1) - He hit the gate at the break here Sept. 10, but did rally to finish 4th, two lengths in back of 'Air Vice Marshall.' That broke a three race wining streak, and this 4yo state bred is a perfect two for two here at this seven-furlong distance.
