Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (VIABLE OPTION) (7-2) - Colt was eliminated at the break in his NYRA debut Oct 2. Son of 'Big Brown' was bumped heavily at the break and never involved after that. Trainer Dave Jacobson drops him to a new low in class and stretches him out to a mile. European rider Sylvester De Sousa is aboard.
2nd pick: #5 (Our Luck) (3-1) - Lightly-raced colt by 'Lookin At Lucky' is dropping from $40K down to $20,000 in claiming price. He's also moving from turf to dirt and has blinkers on for the first time. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Jacob's Here) (5-1) - Long time maiden rallied into a quick and contested pace to finish second at this tag and trip Oct 15 at Belmont. It was his best overall since August of 2014. Can factor if able to repeat it.
4th pick: #1 (Banker's Boss) (4-1) - He has early speed and breaks from the rail. Fits with his best and he enters off a troubled effort Oct 15 at Belmont. He was far behind 'Jacob's Here' that day, but did have legitimate excuses. Three-year-old should be involved from start-to-finish.
