Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (APPEALING HENRY) (6-1) - Longshot has had trouble breaking cleanly in his first pair facing tougher. In his latest he was bumped and squeezed at the start, then tired after rushing up to contest the pace. Trainer Gary Gullo drops him down in class and has him making back-to-back starts for the first time.
2nd pick: #6 (Single Heist) (3-1) - He's bred for early speed and showed it before tiring when debuting here Sept. 28 when facing tougher. Working well since, he takes a significant drop in class. Dangerous today.
3rd pick: #4 (Right Ben) (8-1) - He's dropping into a claimer for the first time, moves from turf to dirt, and is cutting back in distance. Look for a competitive effort from him at a square price.
4th pick: #2 (Stompthegrapes) (4-1) - One of four making their debuts, gelding is from the barn of Todd Pletcher (19% first out). Several of this home bred's works indicate he has some ability and he can factor in this spot.
5th pick: #5 (Concatulations) (8-1) - NEW gelding has been losing ground during the stretch run on a consistent basis. All came facing tougher and a recent quick work and the presence of Javier Castellano suggest the barn likes his chances.
