Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (TREV) (3-2) - This hard-hitting veteran moves back in with state-breds after winning five in a row facing 'open' company. The first four of those came last year with the latest sprinting here for a $25K tag May 10. Speedy 10yo has won 10 of 21 on the main track here and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Arrivederla) (5-1) - One of two entered by Rohan Crichton and the pair race uncoupled. This 4yo was a winner here at this trip for a $12,500 tag Aug. 7 and was claimed that afternoon by Crichton. Trainer has won with six of 29 (24%) first off of that transaction since Jan. 1 of 2019, and this stalker should be competitive.
3rd pick: #2 (Septemberten) (6-1) - The second of the pair from trainer Crichton, this gelding has been sharp in four straight here while entering off an easy win by 3.5 lengths facing $25K 'open' company at the 2l condition Aug. 28. He has the rail and is capable of winning this if 'Trev' doesn't bring his fine form off a four-month layoff.
