Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (Storm Prophet) (8-5) - He rallied to finish second here at this level and distance Nov. 9. It was his first on the main track since last winter and his best after returning from a half-year's layoff July 16. He'll be tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #6 (Bluegrascat's Smile) (5-2) - Finger Lakes invader went 8-1-6-0 this year with the majority of those starts coming at this level. Speed/stalker is from a good barn (Charley Baker) and this hard-hitter draws a nice outside post at this one-turn mile.
3rd pick: #2 (The Caretaker) (6-1) - Well bred colt moves from grass to dirt following an even effort at this level going 7 furlongs on the Belmont turf Oct. 21. It was his best overall since coming off a seven month layoff Aug. 24. He was competitive in all four starts on the dirt before the absence and can factor at a square price.
4th pick: #3 (Get Game) (8-1) - Lightly-raced colt enters in good form on the grass and has been working fast on the Belmont dirt. He has more early speed than most and is dangerous if he can transfer his ability to the main track.
