Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (JAKE N ELWOOD) (2-1) - A stakes winner many times in the past, veteran sprinter drops in class after finishing second of five here in a $150K stakes Oct 17. He has the best early speed of this group and holds a decided class advantage. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (Early One Morning) (9-2) - Veteran tries hard every time and ships in from Penn National where he won facing weaker Oct 7. It was his best since last February and he's been sharp here without winning in the past 3-0-2-1.
3rd pick: #8 (Johnny Jump Up) (6-1) - Gelding continues to race evenly but enters off a good 'figure' Oct 11. He draws a nice outside post at this 6.5-furlong trip and should be competitive at a square price.
4th pick: #6 (Devil's Purge) (6-1) - Gelding moves up in class in his first off a claim. Stalking type has spent his entire career here at Philly and has gone 16-2-5-4. Can grab a share with his normal effort.
