Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #12 (LARCO MAR) (5-2) - State bred is taking a big drop in class in his second back off a nine-week break. Sped/stalker tired in his return facing tougher here Oct. 10 and has worked fast since. He gets a slight edge despite having the outside post.
2nd pick: #11 (Mr Hamilton) (4-1) - Speedy sort finished second at this level and distance Oct 8. He earned a career best figure and is from the barn of leading trainer Ramon Preciado. An obvious contender.
3rd pick: #9 (Magic Five) (8-1) - Colt had some traffic issues when beaten just under two lengths racing here at this level and distance Oct 8. Racing back into shape following several layoffs, he should receive a fast and/or contested pace to close into.
4th pick: #6 (Tot) (10-1) - Longshot checked in a wide and even fourth here facing a bit tougher Oct. 2. He's racing second off a positive barn change and can factor at a big price.
5th pick: #5 (Gambler's Roll) (8-1) - Florida bred was beaten a length here Oct. 8 in his first since June 28. He has some back class and may grab a share with a small move forward.
