Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (CUT A CORNER) (2-1) - Grey colt rallied to finish third here at this level and distance Sept 24. Working fast since, he has the best overall figures and is the horse to beat. However, it would be a good idea to reverse your exactas.
2nd pick: #8 (Mud Light) (3-1) - Son of Belmont Stakes winner 'Jazil' is lightly-raced and improving. Colt finished fourth here in a sprint stakes Sept 27 and is moving back in with fellow maidens. Bred for this trip and a win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Giovanni) (20-1) - Long shot ran evenly here Sept 30 when debuting at this level going 6.5-furlongs. Colt ran evenly while wide and took some action at the windows. Son of 'Gio Ponti' is bred to love this longer distance. Price play.
4th pick: #10 (T J's Papa) (6-1) - Grey colt has been competitive in both sprints and son of 'Tiz Wonderful' finished second here going shorter Oct 3. He has good early speed and that should help him overcome this outside post.
5th pick: #2 (Smart Pioneer) (20-1) - From the same barn (Steve Asmussen) as 'Mud Light,' long shot enters off a pair of even efforts in local sprints. Well bred, he's stretching out and does so with blinkers added. Dangerous at a big price.
