1,2,3,7,8/2,4,5,6/all but the 7
net cost = $20 + $15 + $200 = $235. obviously you can slim down the last leg if you want to dump some of the no-hopers (and just bet them to win if you get to that point).

that's another to do it, if you are willing to spend more bankroll. Maybe a better way if you have a large bankroll when you have a big shot in the first leg.
yesterday the 9-3-9 still evades you, and costs $160 extra bankroll
I would probably rather spend the extra $ beefing up legs 2 and 3 for the 8th and 9th, and I wouldn't spend $ to play the 1,2,3,7or8 in the 7th race at all. The point is hedging the live ticket , not trying to hit the individual pick 3 from scratch.
