Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (KHOLA) (4-1) - He's stretching out in distance after rallying from close range to finish second here at this level going 5.5 furlongs Sept. 21. He's worked since and gets a slight edge in a contest where you should make sure to box your bets.
2nd pick: #2 (Wild Blue) (3-1) - One of two entered by Scott Young and the pair race uncoupled. Even-paced sprinting in his first pair facing tougher, he's dropping into a claimer while stretching out in distance. The figure earned in his debut makes him a serious win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Let It Rip) (10-1) - Longshot is a NEW gelding and will race with blinkers on in his second attempt. He tired late to finish behind a pair of today's rivals when debuting at this level in a sprint Sept. 21. Look for a competitive effort from him at a big price.
4th pick: #3 (Gray Eagle) (9-2) - The second of the pair from Scott Young, he was behind 'Khola' when debuting Sept. 21 but was in front of 'Let It Rip'. Another NEW gelding, it's noted that he was bet down to 3-2 favoritism first out. In the mix.
