Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (HEAVEN IS WAITING) (4-1) - Ramsey home bred won his debut going 8.5 furlongs here Sept. 17. Sent to Keeneland forthe G3 Bourbon Stakes Oct. 9, he had a rough trip in a large field while beaten just over four lengths. He's worked since and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #7 (Royal by Nature) (3-1) - Irish bred is one of two entered who has won more than once. A stakes winner at Louisiana Downs Sept. 10, he finished two lengths in front of 'Heaven Is Waiting' at Keeneland Oct. 9. An obvious win threat.
3rd pick: #5 (Harlan's Harmony) (5-1) - He has more early speed than most, he's the other two time winner. Colt won a $100K sprint stakes on the Saratoga turf Aug. 19, then tired at Woodbine in a G2 stakes at this trip Sept. 18. He was a bit 'hard to handle' that day and is a serious factor in this spot.
4th pick: #2 (Frostmourne) (7-2) - Home bred was a sharp winner when debuting Sept. 3 at Saratoga Sept. 3. Son of 'Speightstown' then finished fourth here in the G3 Pilgrim Stakes Oct. 1 in his first facing winners. Working fast since, colt must be left in the mix.
