Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (NORM THE GIANT) (5-1) - Strong finisher moves up in class after missing by a 'neck' here racing for half this tag Oct. 17th. It was his first start in two months and was his fifth straight solid effort. Can win this with stretch charge.
2nd pick: #7 (P J's Bad Boy) (9-2) - Jersey bred has been freshened up since winning a first level allowance for state breds at Monmouth Park Sept. 24th. Stalker has been competitive facing open company in the past and broke his maiden here 11 months ago.
3rd pick: #1 (Yo Soy El Lobo) (3-1) - Stalker ships up from Delaware Park where he was an easy winner for a $25K tag Oct. 8th. Consistent sort was claimed that day by Keith Nations, and new trainer wins at a 23% rate first off the claim.
4th pick: #2 (Thomas Knight) (4-1) - Gelding was a visually impressive winner here for half this tag going seven furlongs Oct. 3rd. It earned him a career best figure, and he was claimed that day by owner/trainer John Rodriguez. A major factor if he holds his current form.
