Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (INDIMAAJ) (2-1) - Promising son of 'Tapit' is coupled in the wagering with #1a- Alkhaatam and both are running. This colt finished second here at this level and distance Sept. 9 and has been working well above average since. Shadwell home bred gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #4 (Impact Player) (3-1) - Son of 'City Zip' missed by a 1/2 length when debuting in a dirt sprint Sept. 4 at Saratoga. In his follow up here on the grass Oct. 1, he raced evenly while checking in fourth as the favorite. Trainer Todd Pletcher moves him back to the main track and is stretching him out in distance. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Egyptian Prince) (5-1) - Freshened up since Sept. 4, Zayat owned/bred bred son of 'Pioneer of the Nile' raced evenly while having some traffic issues that day when debuting at Saratoga on a muddy surface. Working fast since, trainer Chad Summers is adding both lasix and blinkers while stretching him out in distance. Price play must be left in the win mix.
4th pick: #6 (Triple Dog Dare) (12-1) - Longshot was never involved when he had all sorts of problems when debuting here going seven furlongs Oct. 7. He had a tough post breaking from the rail in a large field and should run much better in this spot.
