Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (SHOTGUN LOVE) (4-1) - Home bred has improved lately and enters off a close up 3rd place finish at this level and distance Sept. 30th at Belmont. Stalker worked a bullet half-mile Oct. 22nd, and she should get a fast and/or contested pace to rally into.
2nd pick: #3 (Chump Change) (8-1) - Price play ships from Finger Lakes where she won a 2l allowance facing 'open' company Sept. 28th. She's gone 5-2-2-0 since joining the barn of Jamie Ness, and this lightly raced filly still has room for up-side. Dangerous in this spot.
3rd pick: #7 (My Super Nova) (8-5) - The probable favorite, stalker has been competitive in three straight at this level since coming off almost a 7 1/2 month layoff Aug. 9th. In shape, consistent, and Irad Ortiz stays aboard. An obvious threat at a short price.
4th pick: #1 (She's All Even) (10-1) - Freshened up since Sept. 3rd, filly tackles winners for the first time. Speed/stalker has the rail, is working both steadily and above average, and can factor with her best at a square price.
