Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (LAND BATTLE) (3-1) - He was a sharp winner at this price tag and distance Sept. 15 at Churchill Downs but had a troubled trip here at that same $40K claiming price going 7 furlongs here Oct. 6. Down in class and back at 6 furlongs, the gelding will be a handful with his best.
2nd pick: #6 (Strolling) (4-1) - Stalker cuts back a furlong following an easy win here at this tag going 7 furlongs Oct. 10. He cleared the 2l level that day, faces tougher foes in for this attempt, but should factor with his normal effort.
3rd pick: #2 (Kate's Golden Dude) (7-2) - Colt ships in from Indiana Downs where he raced evenly in both starts after coming back from a two month layoff. He has early speed, is well spotted, and must be left in the three horse win mix.
