Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (DEJA CREW) (5-2) - He's stretching out in distance after missing by a 1/2 length here going 6 furlongs at this level Oct. 3. 3yo has good early speed and will be tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #5 (Justin's Omen) (9-2) - A home bred gelding by 'Notional', he rallied to finish second at this level Sept. 2 in his first start since late November. However, in his follow up Sept. 26 he could only manage to finish a distant fourth under a similar scenario. He's a late threat in this spot.
3rd pick: #4 (Absaroka) (5-1) - A lightly raced 3yo by 'Flat Out'. he's one of two entered by trainer Mike Biehler and the pair race uncoupled. Gelding showed good early speed before tiring in a sprint here Oct. 3 and is stretching out in distance for this attempt.
4th pick: #6 (Gospel Musketeer) (3-1) - Bred/owned/and trained by Steve Williams, grey gelding rallied to finish a distant second here at this level and distance Sept. 26. He defeated three of today's rivals that evening and is an obvious contender at a short price.
