Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (MARGARITA SUNRISE) (7-2) - He ships from Gulfstream Park where he tired when debuting there Aug, 6 when facing special weights. He's racing off a trainer change to Rudy Rodriguez (25% with new arrivals) and is dropping in class and facing fellow New York breds.
2nd pick: #11 (Dance Graze) (4-1) - Well backed when debuting Sept. 1 at Saratoga, he had some serious traffic issues that afternoon. Working well since, he drops into a claimer for the Schettino barn.
3rd pick: #9 (T Loves a Fight) (12-1) - NEW gelding is also racing with both Lasix administered and blinkers on. He has early speed and trainer Mike Hushion has won with 5 of 9 maidens (56%) making this type of drop.
4th pick: #12 (Tiz Wicked) (20-1) - Big longsot is moving from turf to dirt, is shortening up in distance, and is dropping into a claimer for the first time. Don't ignore him at a huge price.
5th pick: #10 (Appealing Henry) (12-1) - Blinkers go on gelding who ran evenly after hitting the starting gate in his debut Aug 21 at Saratoga. Capable barn (Gary Gullo) drops him down for his second attempt.
