Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (SHANGROYAL) (7-2) - Speedy sort moves from turf to dirt and drops in class following a pair of starts in sprint stakes. All three wins have come on the dirt and he's working fast for his first race since Sept. 13. Capable from a stalking spot and that flexibility gives him a slight edge.
2nd pick: #7 (Midwest Justice) (5-1) - Since late June this gelding has gone 7-5-2-0 all in sprints on the dirt at Indiana Downs. Speed/stalker makes his local debut well spotted and Jose Ortiz gets aboard, a sign that the barn likes this one's chances.
3rd pick: #6 (Copper Bullet) (2-1) - On the sidelines since Aug. 13 of 2017, he was an easy winner of the Saratoga Special (G2) that afternoon. Injured soon after the promising colt is working fast for his return and is an obvious win candidate if ready.
