Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (JO JO AIR) (2-1) - Speedy filly moves back in with maidens after tiring while extremely wide in a $200K turf sprint here facing males Oct. 7. She again is in against colts and geldings, but draws a much better post and enters off a quick half-mile breeze Oct. 21.
2nd pick: #4 (Inda Zone) (8-1) - Home bred by 'Yes It's True' was bred for grass success and has improved dramatically since switched from dirt to turf in his last pair. He missed by a 'neck' at Ellis Park at this distance Aug. 24, then tired late in a 6.5 contest Sept. 12 at Kentucky Downs. Colt can factor at a square price today.
3rd pick: #3 (Philosophy) (9-2) - One of eight making their first starts, Stonestreet homebred by 'Speightstown' is working frequently here and had a very quick half-mile gate breeze Oct. 6 (second best of 121 at the distance that morning). From the barn of Mark Casse (17% first out) and a threat with an alert beginning.
4th pick: #7 (Valid Exchange) (6-1) - Debuting son of 'Exchange Rate' has worked here five times since Sept. 26 and four of those were way above average. He enters off a bullet 3-furlong breeze Oct. 23 and is from a good barn (Ed Kenneally).
