Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (IMPACT PLAYER) (5-2) - Son of 'City Zip' moves to the turf after missing by a 1/2-length in his debut Sept. 4 at Saratoga racing at this level and distance. Colt sold for $350,000 this past April, has the rail, is bred for turf success, and trainer Todd Pletcher wins at a 31% rate second time out.
2nd pick: #2 (Spirit Fly) (9-2) - One of two entered by trainer Wesley Ward, and the pair race uncoupled. Filly takes on males again after finishing a close up 3rd under similar conditions when debuting Aug. 23 at Saratoga. Dangerous today.
3rd pick: #7 (Devine Entry) (4-1) - $100K colt rallied to finish 2nd, beaten a length here at this level and distance Sept. 9. It was a nice move forward following a wide run in his debut July 31, and he must be left in the win mix here.
4th pick: #8 (Solid) (5-1) - This colt was away slowly, but did rally to finish 3rd, two lengths behind 'Devine Entry' when debuting here Sept. 9. Well bred, his trainer Kiaran McLaughlin wins at a 21% clip second time out.
