Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (HONOR UP) (9-2) - He's moving both up in class and in with 'open' company for this attempt. New York bred was a visually impressive winner facing state bred rivals at this distance Oct 12 in a contest that was taken 'off the turf. It was his first race in almost two months and first following a private trainer change to Michelle Nevin. Colt has a good shot at a square price in this small field.
2nd pick: #4 (Baharin) (6-5) - Lightly raced and beautifully bred, colt has been freshened up since a sharp maiden win going 6 furlongs Sep 19 at Belmont Park. Only his 2nd start, it was his first since April 21 and he won by 5.5 lengths in gate-to-wire style while completing the distance in a swift 1:08.60. An obvious win candidate, this son of 'Street Sense' may have a very promising future.
3rd pick: #3 (Stan the Man) (3-1) - On the sidelines since May 27, stalker is working fast and has a great record 6-1-4-1 at Aqueduct. Competitive in nine straight starts, he's a stretch threat if ready with his best.
