Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (ALASAAL) (3-1) - Well bred 4-year-old tired late here at this level and distance Nov. 12. It was only his second start back off almost a 15 month layoff and he's clearly improving. Gelding by 'War Front' draws a fine outside post and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #6 (Karma Delight) (5-1) - Debuting colt has been patiently handled and is working well for his debut. He cost $400,000 as a 2-year-old in training back in May of 2015 and is in the barn of Chad Brown (19% first out). A factor if ready.
3rd pick: #11 (Our Cousin Dick) (4-1) - Lightly-raced, he moves from grass to the dirt in this switched contest. He raced both wide and evenly here on the turf Nov. 10 and had been training fast on the Belmont dirt prior to that.
4th pick: #9 (Rediscover) (15-1) - Longshot is another moving from turf to dirt. Well bred, he's seems the type that can 'run all day.' Fits with his best and can factor at a big price.
5th pick: #3 (Vilma) (5-2) - The morning line favorite, front-running type finished a pace-setting second here when facing weaker at this trip Nov. 11. It was his first since Aug. 31 and he's an obvious contender, but beatable at a short price.
