Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (WILD VERSE) (4-1) - Away since tiring here when debuting 13 months ago, NEW gelding is working steadily, takes a big drop, and is from the barn of leading trainer Peter Miller. Bred for speed, he can win this if ready.

2nd pick: #7 (I Am the Danger) (3-1) - The in-shape gelding is dropping into a claimer for the first time. He has early speed, has finished within range in three of four starts, and is a serious looking player today.

3rd pick: #5 (Causeididitmyway) (6-1) - He takes the same drop as 'I Am the Danger' and has raced evenly in all three starts, two on the grass and one on dirt. Well bred, he should show whatever he has in this spot.

4th pick: #10 (Mr Classical) (10-1) - Four-year-old tired while wide going a mile here facing a bit tougher just 8 days ago. Back on a quick turnaround, he drops a bit while cutting back in distance. May grab a share, but he needs to do much better for anything more than that.
