Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (OCAPTAINMYCAPTAIN) (4-1) - He's been a disappointment to date, but is dropping to a new low, switches from turf to dirt, and leading jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. is back aboard following a one race absence. Gelding meets a weak field and gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #4 (Barefoot Angel) (5-2) - Lightly-raced gelding ships from Finger Lakes where he missed by a 1/2 length when debuting there Nov. 29 of 2016. Working well above average and a strong win candidate.

3rd pick: #7 (Giant Rocks) (3-1) - By far the field's most experienced maiden, even-paced type finished a distant third here at this level Sept. 27 in his first race in eight months. Must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #1 (What a Culture) (10-1) - From the same barn (Charlie Baker) as 'Barefoot Angel,' he hit the gate at the break when debuting here on the grass Sep 21. He's racing for Baker for the first times (a strong 30% winning angle) and he drops him down and switches him to the dirt.
