Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (FREE ROSE) (6-1) - Home bred by 'Munnings' has some fine works showing as he makes his debut. Trainer Cathal Lynch wins at an excellent 26% first out, and this colt meets a rather average looking group for the level.
2nd pick: #2 (Ghostcatcher) (7-2) - New York shipper is taking the big drop into claimers for the first time. He's showed early speed in his debut on the Saratoga dirt Sept. 5th, then ran evenly on the Belmont grass Sept. 26th. Grey colt has New York veteran Mike Luzzi, who recently returned from a serious injury coming in for the mount.
3rd pick: #5 (Tipyourwaiterwell) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, gelding has shown early speed in both local starts. In his latest, he chased the pace before weakening to finish 3rd racing at this tag Sept. 14th. He should be involved from start-to-finish.
4th pick: #7 (Big Monk) (8-1) - Debuting son of 'Quiet American' has been in steady training off site since late June. Barn (Juan Vazquez) is capable first out (21%), and his favorite rider (Carol Cedeno) is aboard.
