Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (DAK ATTACK) (7-2) - Colt has been idle since August 20 when he was an easy winner going 7 furlongs in the Ellis Park Juvenile Stakes. It was his first since a sharp debut win at Churchill Downs June 15 and this $625,000 son of 'Ghostzapper' has been working very fast here for his return.
2nd pick: #6 (Mask) (3-1) - Son of 'Tapit' has been on the sidelines since and easy debut win going 6.5 furlongs Oct. 20 at Belmont Park. Working both steadily and above average at Palm Meadows for his return, this colt from the barn of Chad Brown may have some serious talent.
3rd pick: #4 (Bal Harbour) (4-1) - One of two entered by trainer Todd Pletcher and the pair race uncoupled. He's won two stakes in a row and both have come at this mile distance. Stalker is the only one with a local win and he's done it twice.
4th pick: #1 (Coltandmississippi) (12-1) - Believe this colt is named after a pair of characters played by John Wayne and James Caan in a western of long ago. The 2nd of the Pletcher pair, he's won two of four has the rail and early speed. With John Velazquez opting for 'Bal Harbour', leading rider Luis Saez is aboard this $400K son of 'Pioneer of the Nile'.
