Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (FIVE STAR BUNT) (8-5) - Improving colt enters off a pace-setting third place finish Aug. 31 at Saratoga facing tougher. Given a six week break by the Rudy Rodriguez barn, he drops him into a claimer, has Castellano back on the re-ride, and colt worked a fast half-mile at Aqueduct Oct. 7.
2nd pick: #6 (Mr Hot Rocks) (4-1) - Colt is another dropping into a claimer for this attempt. Son of G1 sprint winner 'Bustin Stones' has been improving in his last pair and is dangerous in this spot.
3rd pick: #8 (Sicilia Sal) (12-1) - Blinkers go on colt who moves from turf to dirt and is shortening back up in distance. Blinkers go on and think he'll be competitive at a square price.
