Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (SAMURAI CAUSE) (3-1) - Speedy sort has been freshened up since tiring while wide at Ellis Park July 13. Colt had finished second in three straight prior to that and this $120K purchase from the Asmussen barn gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #11 (Muni Muni Slew) (5-1) - Heavily bet (2-1) debuting here at this level and distance Sept. 14, he tired after chasing a quick pace from a tough outside post (12-of-12). He's worked twice since and runs today without blinkers for a very good barn (Clyde Trout).
3rd pick: #12 (Algebra) (8-1) - He also had a wide trip in the same last race as 'Muni Muni Slew' and also received some betting support. Colt has worked fast twice since and Texas bred must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #6 (Jaazy G) (9-2) - He set a quick pace before weakening to finish third here in his local debut. This field drew tougher and believe a minor award is his ceiling.
