Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (DIXIE RUNNER) (3-1) - Lightly-raced 3-year-old stretches out in distance following an easy wire-to-wire score here going seven furlongs Sept. 18. It was his first race back off a two month freshening and second off a private trainer change to Rudy Rodriguez. Working fast, this once promising $550,000 purchase began his career with Chad Brown.
2nd pick: #10 (Native Hawk) (9-2) - Stretch out sprinter enters in good form and is from the barn of leading trainer Ramon Preciado. Working fast, 4-year-old is dangerous from on or just of he lead.
3rd pick: #6 (Cousin Stephen) (6-1) - Stakes place early in his career, he's with his fourth different trainer since coming off a year's layoff in early August. Stalker finished third here at this level and distance Oct. 11 and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #5 (Red Razzo) (5-1) - Veteran is one of several Pa. breds taking on 'open' company. He was an easy winner here facing fellow state breds on a muddy surface Oct. 9. It earned him a career best figure and ran his local record to 15-5-3-5. Can't just toss him in his present form.
