Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (SPECTACTICAL) (2-1) - Nice debut saw her involved every step while missing by only a 'neck' racing here at this level and distance Oct .14. Good barn (Clint Stuart) brings her back quickly and home bred by 'Tactical Cat' gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #7 (Okie Buckaroo) (5-2) - He was competitive in his first pair here sprinting at this level. Last out home bred tired facing tougher 'open' company going a mile Oct. 12. He's back in with fellow state breds and is cutting back in distance. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Hunter's Humor) (15-1) - Longshot tired after setting a quick and pressured pace n the same last race as 'Spectactical.' It was an improvement over his debut run and he may grab a share at a big price.
4th pick: #3 (Sooner Heat) (15-1) - One of four making their debuts, he's bred for speed and has a sharp local half-mile gate breeze Oct. 15. He runs for owner/trainer/breeder Francisco Bravo (13% first out).
