Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (EASY COMPARISON) (5-1) - Price play has been freshened up since Aug 12 at Saratoga. He's taking a big drop in class, switching from turf to dirt, and shortening up in distance. He's one of two entered by trainer Chris Englehart and the pair race uncoupled. Barn has good stats in all the relevant categories.
2nd pick: #1 (Vancouver) (5-2) - Lightly-raced and well bred, 3-year-old by 'Tiznow' broke his maiden here at this trip Nov 9 in wire-to-wire fashion. Nicely spotted in his first facing winners and he breaks from the rail. A threat right back.
3rd pick: #2 (Thirty Percent) (7-2) - Finger Lakes shipper is the second runner from the barn of Chris Englehart. One-run type drops in class after being competitive in three of his last five facing a bit better. In the mix.
4th pick: #7 (Francis Freud) (15-1) - Long shot drops down after tiring badly here facing tougher on a sloppy surface Nov 11. Speed/stalker is capable with his best of getting a piece of this at a big price.
