Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #11 (CLENCH) (7-2) - Colt drops into a claimer while stretching out a furlong. He's shown good early speed in both starts facing tougher and his trainer Steve Asmussen wins at a 20% rate when dropping maidens into claimers for the first time. Son of 'Super Saver' draws well and his sire handled 'off' going with no problem.
2nd pick: #7 (Jazz It Up) (3-1) - Speedy colt takes the same drop as 'Clench' and dos so while switching from grass to dirt. Heavily bet in both turf sprints, he's an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (She Love Me) (9-2) - New gelding moves up in class after finishing second here for a $30K tag Sept. 29. Working steadily since he's a threat with just a slight move forward.
4th pick: #10 (Knocks Big Thirst) (12-1) - Longshot moves from grass to dirt, stretches out in distance, drops in class, and NEW gelding is capable of getting a share at a big price.
