Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (NOT GOLIATH) (4-1) - A bit on the unreliable side, stretch runner rallied strongly to miss by a 'nose' here at this level and distance Oct. 18. Well bred 5-year-old is from a winning barn (Jamie Ness) and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #7 (Late Breaking News) (3-1) - The main speed, he's back in with fellow Pa. breds following a pair facing tougher 'open' company. He's finished a pace-setting second in both previous starts at this level and is a very strong win candidate. View him as the equal of 'Not Goliath.'
3rd pick: #4 (Musical Comedy) (5-2) - Lightly-raced colt ran evenly here facing 'open' 2l allowance foes Nov 5. It was his first off a Mike Pino claim and the successful trainer has him in with state bred foes for the first time.
4th pick: #3 (Sunshine Wild) (5-1) - Recent maiden winner moves way up in class while stretching out in distance. He broke his maiden here going seven furlongs for a $40K tag Oct. 25 and earned the highest last out figure of these.
