Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (TWIN FARMS) (4-1) - Speed/stalker is taking a big drop in class in his second back from a two-month layoff. Stakes-placed early in his career, gelding tired after setting a quick pace here Oct. 7 going 7 furlongs for a $50K price tag. He drops to a new low, has blinkers off, and Jose Ortiz is aboard for the first time.
2nd pick: #10 (Class Won) (7-2) - Dangerous Ne York shipper has been competitive in two straight there when facing tougher. Speed/stalker drops to a new low draws a good post for his style, is working fast here, and Ricardo Santana Jr takes the mount. A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #9 (Fortythreeoeight N) (9-2) - The 4yo tired in the Churchill slop at this level and distance Sept. 23. It was a positive effort and came first following a Norm Casse claim. Working fast for this attempt, he runs with blinkers off.
4th pick: #6 (Doc Kane) (6-1) - He set the pace in the same Sept. 23 race as 'Fortythreeoeight N' and held gamely to finish second. It was his first in two months and he's improved in both starts since being claimed by Mike Tomlinson in late June.
