Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (TIZ AFLEET) (5-2) - Well bred and very lightly-raced, gelding finished second here for twice this tag Oct 2. It was his first since late May of 2015 and he came back with a swift five-furlong breeze Oct 16. Can win this if able to avoid a possible 'bounce.'
2nd pick: #2 (Freemark) (7-2) - Steady colt has gone 5-0-3-1 since relocating from the west coast in late spring. Speed/stalker has been sharp in both local starts and should be involved from gate to wire.
3rd pick: #1 (Lori's Folly) (8-1) - Longshot is racing third back off a 3.5 month layoff. He ran both wide and evenly here Oct. 2 while finishing within range of both 'Tiz Afleet' and 'Freemark'. He's worked since, moves to the rail, and is a threat at a big price.
4th pick: #9 (Honor Commitment) (6-1) - Gelding set a pressured pace before weakening to check in a distant second here for a $10K tag Sept. 25. He runs fresh off a Mike Pino claim (a 22% winning angle) and new barn doubles him up in price.
5th pick: #6 (Mr Charles) (5-1) - He missed by a 'nose' here at this tag and trip Sept. 12. A career best it came in his first back off just under a year's layoff. He ran both wide and evenly in his follow up start Oct. 3 and gets a big rider upgrade to Paco Lopez.
