Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (CAVARADOSSI) (3-1) - He's one of two entered by Rob Atras and the pair race uncoupled. 4yo finished second here at this level and distance Nov. 3 in what was his first ever on the grass. Gelding by 'Speightstown' has worked twice since and I give him a slight edge.
2nd pick: #3 (Duncastle) (2-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, he's been very sharp in four straight and enters off a second place finish facing tougher going 7 furlongs at Belmont Oct. 18. It was his first back following a four month break and he's an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #10 (Lawn Boy) (9-2) - Lightly raced English import drops in class after finishing third in a grass sprint at Laurel Oct. 6 facing tougher. It was his first race in 11.5 months and his first in No. America. Trained by Abel Castellano, he has brother Javier aboard. 3yo is dangerous in this spot.
4th pick: #6 (Red Mule) (5-1) - The second of the pair from Rob Atras, he finished an even third here after being bumped at the break. 3yo was almost 4 back of barnmate 'Cavaradossi' that day but should narrow the margin with a clean beginning.
