Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (LON'S TRUE PASSION) (4-1) - He's raced evenly in a trio of starts when facing tougher and has finished third in two of those. Working fast for this attempt, colt hails from the barn of leading trainer Ramon Preciado.
2nd pick: #9 (Ice Tea) (5-2) - Florida invader makes his local debut off a private trainer change to Bruce Brown. The NYRA based barn drops him way down in class and veteran Mark Luzzi is in for the mount.
3rd pick: #6 (The X Man) (8-1) - The field's most experienced maiden, he's dropping back down to price ($20K) that he was claimed for Nov. 7. Colt has early speed and should be involved from gate-to-wire at a square price.
4th pick: #8 (Not Beaucette) (10-1) - One of four making their debuts, he's from a good barn (Mertkan Kantarmaci) that deals with very few maidens. Colt may grab a share at long odds if ready.
