Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (CALIFORNIA SWING) (4-1) - Veteran drops in price and is stretching back out around two turns in his first following a claim by Chris Hartman ( a 21% winning angle). Stalker has positive 'off' track experience and this gelding by 'Malibu Moon' gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #2 (Sumner) (5-2) - Speedy colt ships from Belmont Park where he finished second at this $25K price tag and distance. He's lightly raced, breaks just off the rail, has won an 'off' track, and enters off a sharp local half-mile work Oct. 26. This 4yo son of 'Union Rags' is a very strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Capital Letters) (7-2) - Even-paced 6yo drops from $40,000 down to a $25K tag for this attempt. He's racing third back from a 7-month layoff and appears to be getting into shape for trainer Mike Maker. He has many races in his past that make him a serious contender if repeatable.
