Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1a (CHOIR DIRECTOR) (4-1) - Gelding by 'A.P. Indy' has been freshened up since tiring facing tougher Aug 17 at Saratoga. He draws a nice outside post for this distance and is dropping to a new low in claiming price. Coupled in the wagering with #1 Heliodoro' and this 4-year-old will be tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #12 (Eerily) (8-1) - Lightly-raced 4-year-old is racing third back off an 80 day break. He's moving from turf to dirt and is shortening up in distance. Speed/stalker is from an underrated barn (Kellyn Gorder) and has a shot at a big price.
3rd pick: #8 (My Man Greyson) (9-2) - He's been competitive in four straight starts, three on the dirt and one on grass. Stalker fits with his best and is from a sharp midwest based barn (Chris Richard).
4th pick: #4 (Persuasion) (5-1) - The probable favorite, he missed by a 1/2 length at this tag going six furlongs at Churchill Downs Sept. 25. Only his second start, it was his first following a claim for $20K by trainer Mike Maker Aug 17 at Saratoga. An obvious contender.
