Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (WINNING ELEMENT) (3-1) - New York shipperhas been competitive in both starts on the NYRA circuit since switching to the turf. Colt by 'City Zip' is racing 2nd back off a pair of layoffs and is dropping into a claimer for the first time. Looks set for a big effort.
2nd pick: #3 (Acker) (9-2) - Colt by 'Include' has finished close up in both starts since switching to the grass. Home bred has gone this demanding 9 furlong trip in each and enters off a pair of recent sharp works.
3rd pick: #2 (Amazon Cry) (5-1) - No speed type has finished close up in five straight on the turf and was only beaten 1 1/2 lengths at this distance here facing tougher Sep 2. Working fast for his first since Sep 29, colt should factor in this spot.
4th pick: #1 (Odyssey Explorer) (12-1) - Longshot is another without early speed. He has a ground saving post, was only a length in back of 'Amazon Cry' Sep 29, and is stringing starts together following a pair of layoffs. Gelding is capable of getting a share of this at a big price with a late rally.
