Top pick: #6 (LAST DIAMOND) - Colt was heavily bet when making his local debut Oct. 7 and he tired after being sent hard and dueling through fast fractions. He finished second in his previous race at Fairplex and draws outside of the other speed today. All set.
2nd pick: #2 (Douglass) - He exits the same Oct. 7 contest as "Diamond" annd he rallied into the quick and contested pace to finish third. He'd been overmatched in his previous pair racing in stakes and is a win candidate today.
3rd pick: #7 (Chief Tyree) - Lightly-raced gelding just missed (a neck) racing at this level going 5 furlongs at Alburquerque on Sept. 14. Working fast since arriving and he's in a sharp medium-sized barn (Shawn Davis).
