Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (BLANKET OF ICE) (7-2) - He's dropping in class and stretching out in distance. Well bred 3yo has a flexible style, is working above average, and is dropping to a new low.
2nd pick: #4 (Scattastic) (8-1) - He was only beaten by just under three lengths here while having some serious traffic issues at this level Oct. 10th. It was his first since July 30, and this speed/stalker can factor at a square price.
3rd pick: #8 (Lamu) (5-2) - The morning line and probable favorite, he missed by a 1/2-length here at this level and distance Oct. 10th. He has enough early speed to avoid a wide trip and is an obvious contender.
4th pick: #7 (Gavination) (6-1) - Recent maiden winner has fine early speed and enters in career best form. May grab a share, but he needs to do better for anything more than a minor award.
