Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (FACTORIAL) (7-2) - $600,000 son of 'The Factor' missed by a 'nose' sprinting on the Saratoga grass Aug. 4, but tired after a troubled start in his follow up Sept. 28 at Belmont. Working well above average since then, he can win this with his best.
2nd pick: #9 (Charnley River) (5-2) - Australian import has finished second in 5-of-9, all on the grass and all in sprints. In his No. American debut Sept. 28 at Belmont, he rallied to finish second and was well in front of the troubled 'Factorial.' An obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Mini Miles) (4-1) - Woodbine shipper has early speed and has been competitive there on both grass and poly and is dangerous in his local debut if he brings his Canadian form with him.
4th pick: #4 (Repetitious) (5-1) - Four-year-old is nearing his fifth birthday and with only four starts so far he obviously has some issues. He enters off a fourth place finish at this level going 7 furlongs at Belmont Oct. 19 and is brought back quickly by trainer Jim Bond, who is having a strong meet (9-3-1-2).
