Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #13 (JUMP THE TRACKS) (5-2) - He shortens up a furlong following a 2nd place finish here at this $20K tag going a mile Aug. 17. It was his first ever at this level, and he draws a fine outside post for this attempt.
2nd pick: #4 (Bank Walker) (4-1) - Lightly raced gelding ran evenly while never involved going a mile here for a $40K tag Aug. 16. It was his second start back following an 11-month layoff and first off a Bob Hess, Jr. claim. Down in class, blinkers go on as he shortens up a furlong.
3rd pick: #2 (Imagineiamfast) (8-1) - Stalker raced evenly after having a lot of trouble at the break going 5.5 furlongs here for a $20K tag Aug. 10. Claimed that afternoon by veteran Jack Carava (an 18% winning angle), he stretches him out in distance, and has him racing without blinkers after eight straight starts with the 'hood' in place.
4th pick: #3 (Positive Numbers) (10-1) - Lightly raced and well bred, this 3yo showed little at this $20K tag going 5.5 furlongs Aug. 10. It was his first back following an 11-month layoff, and he was claimed that afternoon by leading trainer Peter Miller (a 23% winning angle). Look for a competitive effort at a square price.
