Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (BORDER FORCE) (5-1) - Colt raced evenly when debuting facing tougher on the Keeneland grass course Oct. 22. Trainer Bill Mott drops him way down in class, is adding blinkers, and Florent Geroux is back on the re-ride. Well bred colt gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #5 (Hour City) (3-1) - Colt has good positional early speed and is dropping into a claimer for the first time. In his only previous local start he rallied to finish second on May 5 in a nine furlong contest that was switched 'off the turf'. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Arizona) (7-2) - Lightly-raced son of 'Tiznow' rallied to finish second at this tag and trip Oct. 6 at Keeneland. It was his second straight solid effort and his first around two-turns. An obvious contender.
4th pick: #4 (Neapolitan) (5-2) - Gelding rallied to finish a distant second going seven furlongs at this tag when debuting at Keeneland Oct. 19. Trainer Ed Kenneally brings him back quickly while stretching him out in distance.
