Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (MR MISUNDERSTOOD) (8-5) - One of two entered by trainer Brad Cox, and they race uncoupled. This multiple stakes winner was only beaten by six lengths in the G1 Shadwell Turf Mile Oct. 6 at Keeneland and is a perfect three for three on the Churchill grass course. All of those came in stakes, and he's won 10 of 15 overall racing on the turf. He'll be tough with his normal effort.
2nd pick: #5 (Big Changes) (4-1) - The second of the Cox trained pair, he's won five in a row with three of those coming in stakes outside of Kentucky. This 6yo scored in a strong allowance at Keeneland Oct. 12 and is the main speed in this contest. He completes a strong hand from the barn.
3rd pick: #8 (Sir Dudley Digges) (8-1) - One run type has won three of four on this course in the past and has a fine record at this distance (4-2-1-0). His outside post is a negative, but he's capable of getting a share if able to avoid a wide trip.
