Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (THE CREEP) (7-2) - Stakes placed colt is dropping to a new low while switching from grass to dirt. An %80,000 3yo by 'Twirling Candy', he ran evenly here at this distance on the turf July 20 for a $40K tag. Rare West Virginia bred broke his maiden here on the main track at this trip last August and I like his chances.

2nd pick: #3 (Trapper Peak) (6-1) - A lightly raced 4yo, he's stretching out beyond 6.5 furlongs for the first time. Competitive in six of his seven sprint attempts, he's racing second back from a three month break and first following a Steve Miyadi claim, a 22% winning angle.

3rd pick: #2 (So Long Sailor) (5-1) - Nicely bred 4yo ships from Texas where he'd gone 3-2-1-0 at Lone Star Park. He's won here in the past at this distance and must be left in the mix.
