Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #14 (DAN THE MAN CAN) (3-1) - Lightly raced and quick from the gate, he's been freshened up since finishing second at this level and distance Aug. 14 at Saratoga. He's dropping in class and gets top billing in this 'off the turf' contest.
2nd pick: #6 (Shandian) (4-1) - Colt tired badly here Oct. 5 after being competitive in three of his prior four starts. He finished second in an 'off the turf' sprint July 18 at Saratoga and enters today off a trio of fast works. A win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Nextstop Pokipc) (5-1) - A lightly raced gelding by 'Congrats', he ships from Laurel where he tired after setting a quick pace to check in a distant third facing $40K claimers. He has the rail and it's noted that Irad Ortiz Jr. is getting aboard
