Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1a (WHEELS UP NOW) (7) - Son of 'Smart Strike' is coupled in the wagering with #1 Greyscale. Colt raced both wide and evenly when finishing 4th at this level and distance when debuting at Belmont Oct. 11th. $450,000 purchase can take this with normal second out improvement.
2nd pick: #3 (Condo King) (3-1) - Colt has been on the sidelines since finishing a pace-chasing 2nd when debuting in a Belmont sprint May 21. This is his home track as trainer Rudy Rodriguez stables here instead of Belmont. Working nicely, and a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Vorticity) (9-2) - Maryland invader rallied to finish 3rd of 12, beaten 4 1/2 lengths when debuting at this level going six furlongs at Laurel Oct. 10th. He's worked twice since, draws a nice outside post, and the additional furlong is in his favor.
4th pick: #4 (Stradivari) (4-1) - One of three making their debuts, son of 'Medaglia d'Oro' hails from the barn of Todd Pletcher (23% first out). Home bred colt is working steadily, and John Velazquez is aboard.
