Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (STANFORD) (3-1) - One of three entered by trainer Todd Pletcher and the trios race as separate betting interests. Speed/stalker has been idle since June 11, but is working fast and has gone 4-2-1-1 here in the past. Takes this if ready.
2nd pick: #4 (Awesome Slew) (6-1) - Lightly raced 3yo is the main spd of the contest. Capable of a very big effort if left alone in the early stages, think he'll be involved every step.
3rd pick: #6 (Keen Ice) (2-1) - Another of the Pletcher trio, he's best know for defeating 'American Pharoah' in the Travers Stakes (G1) at Saratoga back in August of 2015. Strong finisher is an obvious win candidate, but will be a short price.
4th pick: #5 (Hy Riverside) (15-1) - Longshot raced both wide and evenly in a stakes at this trip Nov 12. It was his first since Aug 25 and this stretch runner has a fine local record 10-3-3-2 and fits with his best figure.
