Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (CHAPS) (9-2) - Colt is working fast locally for his first start since debuting at Gulfstream Park Feb. 3. He finished third that day in a fine first outing and gets a slight edge if ready. Note: Make sure you box your bets in this competitive contest
2nd pick: #7 (Franknjymme) (7-2) - Bred/owned/and trained by Chuck Lopresti, colt enters off a third-place finish at this level and distance Sept. 22 at Churchill Downs. It was his first since debuting at Turfway Park March 2 and he worked fast locally Oct. 4. It's noted that Jose Ortiz is aboard.
3rd pick: #11 (Ukuru) (6-1) - Older runner has been freshened up since finishing second at this level sprinting on the all-weather surface at Arlington Park Sept. 2. It was his first start since late December and 4yo can factor from off the pace.
4th pick: #5 (Unmatchable) (4-1) - One of four making their debuts, $225,000 son of 'Uncle Mo' is training very fast here. Colt breezed a very impressive 5 furlongs from the gate in :57.40 Oct. 3 and is from the barn of 'Hall of Famer' Steve Asmussen (18% first out).
5th pick: #10 (Examiner) (8-1) - Both blinkers and lasix are added to a gelding who moves from turf to dirt. He's finished fourth in a pair of grass sprints and has been bet heavily in each. His outside post is a plus and he could grab a share at a square price.
