Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (BUNDIBUNAN) (5-2) - A strong finisher by 'Ghostzapper', he's dropping in class following a pair of back-to-back fourth place finishes in rich stakes. 3yo has breezed four times locally for this attempt and gets top billing.
2nd pick: #11 (J Beresford Tipton) (6-1) - A very lightly raced 3yo by 'Animal Kingdom', he was bred and is owned by Team Valor who raced that Derby winner some years back. This colt has been competitive in all three starts and has more early speed than most entered. Working fast at Fair Hill, he should be involved from gate-to-wire at a square price.
3rd pick: #12 (Lake Nakuru) (15-1) - Another 3yo by 'Animal Kingdom', this gelding rallied while wide to finish 4th of 12, beaten just under 5 lengths at this level going 9 furlongs at Churchill Sept. 27. The type that can 'run all day', he's a late threat at a big price.
4th pick: #10 (Preacher Power) (12-1) - 4yo missed by a 1/2 length at this level going 8.5 furlongs at Ellis Park Aug. 2. In his follow up sprinting at Kentucky Downs Sept. 7, he tired after racing near the pace and is stretching back out in distance for this attempt. Working fast locally, longshot likes it here 3-1-1-1 and must be left in the mix.
