Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (OVER RIDIN ROYALTY) (7-2) - Un-raced since July 10, he returns a NEW gelding and is working fast for this attempt. Well bred 3-year-old is racing second off a Steve Asmussen claim and is moving from dirt to turf. Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1 (On Lake Time) (6-1) - He has the rail and good early speed. He's moving from dirt to turf and is moving up in class. Three-year-old missed by a 'neck' here facing weaker going 7-furlongs on the main track Sept 12. Can be involved every step at a square price.
3rd pick: #8 (Ididarod) (12-1) - He has more early speed than most and has been competitive on the turf before. Grey gelding will be a big price and his early speed makes him a bit interesting.
4th pick: #4 (Sarge N Charge) (3-1) - The morning line favorite, he enters off an even effort here at this tag and trip Aug 27. An obvious win candidate, but at a short price.
