Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (MONTI PREMONITION) (8-1) - Longshot enters off an even effort here at this tag and trip Nov. 7th. $175K purchase had some serious early traffic issues that day, and he has a good shot at a big price with a clean beginning.
2nd pick: #8 (Scherzo) (5-2) - The morning line favorite, colt is stretching out in distance in his first off a Juan Vazquez claim (18%). He's improved his position during the stretch run of both sprints and should like this longer distance.
3rd pick: #3 (Printer) (4-1) - One of two entered by trainer Bernie Houghton, and the pair race uncoupled. He has experience at this distance and has been competitive in all three, two-turn attempts. Must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #5 (Ghost Bear) (10-1) - Another longshot, he has early speed, and is trying a two-turn trip for the first time. In this rather pace-less race on paper, he will take them as far as he can at a big price.
