Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (NEW YORK SONG) (4-1) - Colt chased and held down the place spot going 7-furlongs here on a muddy surface Sept 11. Good effort and he's worked fast twice since. Son of 'Posse' has a nice outside post and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #2 (Flexibility) (3-1) - One of four making their debuts, colt sold for $185,000 this past March as a 2-year-old in training. Working well above average, his latest drill was a bullet 5-furlong breeze here Oct 5. Win candidate is from the Chad Brown barn (20% first out).
3rd pick: #5 (Spooked Out) (5-1) - Another making his debut, grey colt is from the Pletcher barn (23% first out). Repole home bred has a fine work tab and Pletcher's long time main rider (John Velazquez) is aboard.
4th pick: #4 (Holdtherightcards) (7-2) - Grey colt raced evenly after a slow start and some traffic issues when debuting Sept 4 at Saratoga. It would be no surprise to see him competitive with an alert beginning.
