Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (PETE'S PLAY CALL) (5-1) - Veteran has gone 14-5-5-2 since the early part of 2017 and enters off a 'neck' loss at this level and distance Sep 29 at Belmont. Given a brief rest, The 5yo has the rail, a good shot at a square price, but make sure you box your bets in this small and competitive field.
2nd pick: #5 (Timber Ghost) (3-1) - Very lightly raced 3yo by 'Ghostzapper' has won two in a row and is working very fast for his first since Sept. 22. He's facing his toughest field to date, but has ample room for upside ad looks to have a bright future.
3rd pick: #6 (Still Krz) (10-1) - Longshot has been freshened up since tiring following a poor start in the G1 Vosburgh Invitational Sept. 29 at Belmont. Speed/stalker draws a fine outside post for this 6.5-furlong trip and will give jockey Many Franco some early options.
4th pick: #2 (Life in Shambles) (2-1) - Stalker won his last start at Belmont Sept. 29 and was a 'neck' better than 'Pete's Play Call' that afternoon. He's one of two who has won at Aqueduct, he's done it twice, and must be left in the mix.
