Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (HOT DUDETTE) (7-2) - Filly is one of three making their debuts in this maiden contest. She's been in steady training since early Sept and had a bullet half-mile breeze on the Saratoga training track Sept 21. There's a lack of visible speed in this race on paper and she can take this with an alert break.
2nd pick: #6 (Town Tart) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, she ships in from Kentucky where she tired while wide to finish fourth when facing tougher Oct 4 at Keeneland. Filly worked here Oct 22 and trainer Steve Asmussen (eight for 25 at this meet) drops her into a claimer for the first time.
3rd pick: #2 (Kentucky Road) (3-1) - Freshened up since Sept 7, she's dropping in class, switching from turf to dirt, and shortening back up in distance. Filly worked a bullet half mile at Saratoga Oct 21 and trainer Todd Pletcher wins at a 31% rate on this particular drop in class.
4th pick: #3 (Dreams to Reality) (6-1) - Another making her debut, daughter of 'Lookin At Lucky' is working steadily for trainer Mike Dilger. The presence of John Velazquez is a plus.
