Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (MAJESTIC TOM) (9-2) - He's dropping in class and does so with blinkers on. Very wide last out when facing tougher, he has a much better post this afternoon. One run type breaks just off the rail and can take this at a square price.
2nd pick: #6 (Ruckus) (4-1) - Interesting colt has been on the sidelines since Aug. 20. He's had problems at the start in both NYRA appearances is dropping into a claimer for the first time. In a crafty barn (Ralph Nicks) and he's won at a 23% clip off of this type of drop over the past 13 months.
3rd pick: #8 (So Long Cuck) (3-1) - Speedy colt just failed to hold on here facing just a bit weaker Jan. 8. It was his first on the grass and a huge improvement over his dirt debut. Dangerous if he repeats his latest.
4th pick: #5 (False Accusation) (10-1) - Longshot has been un-raced since Oct 4. He returns a NEW gelding and is dropping in class. In a good barn of John Servis, trainer has won with 6 of 14 (43%) taking this particular drop over the past 13 months.
