Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (GREY GLORY) (3-1) - He finished third here at this level and distance Sept. 10. It was his first race in seven weeks and has now been competitive in 7-of-10 lifetime appearances. It's noted that Javier Castellano is aboard for the first time.
2nd pick: #5 (Zen Papa) (5-2) - One of two entered by Rudy Rodriguez and the pair race uncoupled. Trainer has been on a very strong run at this meet at 22-for-72 (31%) and he drops this speedster way down in class for his first in 2.5 months. An obvious win candidate at a short price.
3rd pick: #4 (Zoo Yorker) (6-1) - Colt raced evenly while finishing fourth here Sept. 29. It was his first race since July 25 and trainer Charley Baker brings him back in three weeks for this attempt.
4th pick: #6 (Il Fratello) (15-1) - Speed/stalker tired late after setting a solid pace here at this level Sept. 29. He would eventually finish fifth, less than a length behind 'Zoo Yorker'. May grab a share at a big price.
