Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (SIR MACHO) (5-2) - Grey gelding was an easy wire-to-wire winner here at this tag and trip on a sloppy surface Nov 11. It was his best overall since October of 2014 when he was still on the West Coast. Trainer Chris Englehart brings him back quickly for his first attempt at this 3l condition.
2nd pick: #3 (Recanted) (7-2) - Speed/stalker just failed at this level and distance Oct 11 at Belmont. Solid effort was his first race since late January and this gelding was a classier type early in his career.
3rd pick: #5 (Power Crazed) (2-1) - Well bred 4-year-old is racing first off a Gary Gullo claim and third back from almost an eight week freshening. Stalker fits, likes this trip, and can factor from just off the lead.
4th pick: #7 (Liberty First) (12-1) - Long shot is stretching out in distance in his second following an Abby Adsit claim. Three-year-old raced evenly while finishing fourth here Nov 4 going six furlongs and earned a career best 'figure.' Can grab a share at a big price.
