Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (ANSWER IN) (2-1) - Away slowly from a tough rail draw in a large field (12) when debuting here going six furlongs Sept. 14, he rallied while extremely wide to miss by a 'nose.' From the barn of Brad Cox, 21% second time out, he's worked this $190,000 purchase four times since, including a near bullet five furlongs in :59.80 Oct. 19. The top selection today.
2nd pick: #3 (Icecap) (3-1) - Grey colt has had problems at the break in both starts against strong groups. He tired in both after recovering to show good early speed and should be involved every step with a trouble free beginning.
3rd pick: #7 (Race Driver) (5-1) - He raced evenly when finishing 4th debuting here going six furlongs Sept. 20. Colt sold for $290,000 this past April and should factor today with normal second out improvement.
4th pick: #6 (Cavalry Charge) (10-1) - A $375,000 son of 'Honor Code,' he raced evenly in his debut here Sept. 14. He received good betting support, but was eight lengths in back of 'Answer In' at the finish. He's worked four times since with all being well above average, and this colt may grab a share at a big price.
