Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (NAQAFEER) (7-2) - Well bred colt is switching from grass to dirt in this 'off the turf' contest. Son of 'Street Cry' showed an improved run and figure Oct. 20 at Belmont in his first back from a three month break. He's working fast on he main track here and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #4 (Contraction) (3-1) - Very lightly-raced, $200K purchase missed by a 'neck' at this price tag going seven furlongs on the Belmont grass Oct. 7. Castellano gets aboard this gelding and he's a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Simon Kenton) (4-1) - He checked in third last out on the Belmont grass while two lengths in back of 'Contraction.' He's been competitive on the dirt in the past and that makes him a solid contender.
4th pick: #11 (Mojo Rising) (15-1) - Lightly-raced 4-year-old cost $435,000 and has earned back $5K of that sum. That said, he fits with these if able to handle the dirt and will be a big price.
