Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (SCISSORS AND TAPE) (9-5) - Colt takes a big drop in class and is moving from grass to dirt. Speedy sort draws a good outside post at this distance and gets 11 lbs off with apprentice Clawson aboard.
2nd pick: #7 (Illusion's Rule) (6-1) - Freshened up for the past two months, he's working steadily for his return. Speed/stalker can factor with his best, and at a square price.
3rd pick: #6 (Michael) (6-1) - 4yo is stretching out a furlong following a wide and even trip here at this level going six furlongs Nov. 2nd. Stretch runner should like the additional distance he travels today.
4th pick: #2 (Forged Signature) (8-1) - Lightly raced 3yo ships from Mountaineer Park where he raced evenly following a slow start Nov. 5th. It was his first facing winners and came against tougher. Stalker fits with his best and still has room for upside.
