Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (U CALL ME ALEX) (7-2) - He's making his local debut and is racing first off a Jeremiah Englehart claim (a 24% winning angle). Gelding has spent his entire career facing open company in the Midwest and is facing fellow New York breds for the first time. I like his chances.
2nd pick: #1 (Everydoghashisday) (2-1) - Speedster has won two in a row and three of his last five overall. Has the rail, is in career best form, and is a very strong win candidate from his inside post.
3rd pick: #2 (Read the Technique) (10-1) - Longshot is stretching back out in distance following an even fourth place finish when sprinting at this level Aug 18. He won facing weaker at this trip in his previous start and is capable of impacting at a big price.
4th pick: #7 (Louie's Luck) (4-1) - Consistent sort has gone 6-1-4-1 here this year and has finished second in three of his last four, all at this level. He's moving off the rail and can factor if able to avoid a wide trip.
