Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (REQUEST) (7-2) - This race is loaded with long-winded types headed by this strong finisher. No-speed type has been competitive in all five starts in 2015 after returning from a 6 1/2 month layoff May 13. In shape and $400K filly by 'Dynaformer' gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #7 (Fire Away) (4-1) - Phipp's colt is beautifully bred and was a 'head' in front of 'Request' here at this level going 10-furlongs Sept 26. That earned him a career best figure and this son of 'War Front' has worked fast since. A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Boss Man) (8-1) - A three-time winner, he's moving up in class and stretching out in distance. Speed/stalker is consistent and was a winner here going seven furlongs for a $50K tag Oct 8. Fits on figures and he has a shot at a square price.
4th pick: #6 (Good Response) (3-1) - Freshened up since Aug 29, Godolphin home-bred has improved noticeably since coming off a seven week freshening July 1. He has more positional speed than most and was less than a length behind 'Fire Away' the last time they met.
