Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #11 (RISETOTHEOCCASION) (4-1) - Once classier type is racing first of a claim by owner/trainer Dave Jacobson. Consistent gelding was a winner at Belmont Oct. 10th in his first back from a two-month break. Stalker is nicely spotted today and can win right back if able to avoid a wide trip.
2nd pick: #7 (Storm Pursuit) (8-1) - Veteran moves up a bit after finishing a pace-setting 3rd Oct. 16th at Belmont. Race was his first back off a 2.5-month break, and this 11-time winner is a threat at a square price.
3rd pick: #5 (Grey Glory) (10-1) - Lightly raced 4yo moves up in class in his first off a Dom Schettino claim. Speed/stalker has won two of his last three and fits on figures with this group.
4th pick: #3 (Dad'z Laugh) (3-1) - He's finished 1st or 2nd in 27 of 44 lifetime starts. He's racing first off a Linda Rice claim (29%), who is six for 21 (29%) so far at this meet. An obvious contender and the probable favorite.
