Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (BUNYAAN) (7-2) - Gelding is taking a big drop in class and runs well under the $40,000 Rudy Rodriguez claimed him for March 26. He has a speed/stalking style and is spotted in this to turn contest to offer whatever he has.
2nd pick: #6 (Combat Controller) (5-1) - Kentucky shipper is also taking a big drop. Colt was very rank last out at Churchill Downs but was only beaten seven lengths facing tougher. An easy maiden winner there in his previous start, this barn (Al Stall Jr) always wins a few at this meet and it's noted that he has Javier Castellano aboard.
3rd pick: #7 (Professor Snape) (3-1) - Stretch-out sprinter has the best early and was beaten only a 'neck' at Belmont July 7 sprinting at this $16K 2l condition. A career best, he broke his maiden going 8.5 furlongs at Belmont June 2. Win candidate.
4th pick: #4 (Hay Listen Up) (6-1) - Longshot has some early speed and is dropping down in price. Working fast locally, his trainer. 'Hall of Famer' Wayne Lukas has already scored with a couple of bombs at the meet.
