Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (ANALYZE IT) (5-2) - He ships off a very impressive debut win at Belmont Oct. 28. Racing at this level and distance, he stayed close early before taking over to win by six widening lengths. He completed the trip in a swift 1:34.20 and earned a Byer Figure that towers over this field. From the barn of Chad Brown, he'll be tough to beat if he brings his Belmont form with him.
2nd pick: #8 (Inscom) (7-2) - Expensive ($850,000) son of 'Distorted Humor' was a sharp 4.5-length maiden winner at this distance Oct. 27 at Santa Anita. He had just missed (by a 'nose') in his grass debut there Sept. 30 and enters off a bullet half-mile work Nov. 9. Dangerous if 'Analyze' is sub par for some reason.
3rd pick: #6 (Publius Syrus) (5-1) - Freshened up since Sept. 30, he broke his maiden that day at Santa Anita at this mile distance. Stalker was a 'nose' better than 'Inscom' that afternoon and must be left in a three horse mix here.
