Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (SPIRIT IN THE NIGHT) (3-1) - Lightly raced and speedy, improving 3yo enters off a pace-setting 2nd place finish here at this tag Nov. 2nd. He earned a career best figure and doesn't necessarily need the lead to be competitive. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Win Wish) (7-2) - Speedy gelding has tired during the stretch run in all three starts since coming here from the So. California circuit during August. His early foot should have him involved from start-to-finish.
3rd pick: #3 (Full Pads) (8-1) - 4yo raced evenly last out sprinting on the Meadowlands turf Oct. 31st. He had been competitive in three straight dirt sprints at this level during the Monmouth meet and can factor today at a square price.
4th pick: #9 (West Terrace) (4-1) - He missed by a 'head' here at this tag Oct. 18th, then finished a well-beaten 3rd after a 'stumbling' start Nov. 2nd. Can factor, but he needs to avoid a wide trip.
