Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (PROVEN RESERVES) (8-5) - A very lightly raced 4yo, he's been on the sidelines since late August at Saratoga. He's gone 4-2-0-1 so far and finished 3rd last out going 9 furlongs at this level. From the barn of Chad Brown (28% off of long layoffs), he's had this $350K son of 'Flatter' in steady training at Monmouth and he won on a muddy surface the only time he's been on a wet surface.
2nd pick: #2 (Dynamax Prime) (5-1) - This veteran has won 6 of his last 10 starts and has taken two in a row here facing fellow state breds. He's gone 8-2-2-1 onthe local dirt, is 7-2-2-3 in his career on wet track, and is a win candidate despite moving in with 'open' company.
3rd pick: #6 (Twisted Tom) (7-2) - Old timer is a multiple stakes winner facing fellow state breds, but has been slipping in his overall performance level the past 18 months. However, he has good positional speed, a fine outside post in his small field, and must he left in the mix.
