Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (BANNER BILL) (3-1) - Speedball ships back from Laurel where he tired badly facing tougher Nov. 6th. He had won his previous start at Belmont Oct. 9th racing for twice this tag and should prove tough to beat in this spot.
2nd pick: #3 (Bullheaded Boy) (2-1) - Veteran drops in class while switching from turf to dirt. The last time he raced on the main track, he finished 2nd at Laurel in a $150K stakes going nine furlongs Oct. 22nd. The type that can 'run all day,' strong finisher is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Skill Not Luck) (5-2) - His form has dipped some since he returned from a seven-week break Oct. 21st. That followed a negative barn change after a claim, and his current connections drop him back down. He has early speed, the rail, and is a major factor with his 'A' game.
