Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (COMPLEXIFIER) (5-2) - He's shown steady and impressive improvement since debuting July 27 at Saratoga. Colt rallied from close range to break his maiden by 2.5 lengths at this distance Sept. 20 at Churchill Downs while earning by far the highest figure of any entered. He'll be tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #4 (Long Weekend) (3-1) - Colt sold for $225,000 this past April in Florida as a 2yo in training and was an easy wire-to-wire winner by 5 lengths debuting in a 5 furlong sprint at Churchill Downs June 23. He tired badly after setting a quick and pressured pace in the Saratoga Special (G2) Aug. 10 and has been freshened up since. Working fast locally, he's a serious looking player in this spot.
3rd pick: #6 (Letsstaypositive) (4-1) - The fields only filly, she defeated males by 4 lengths debuting here in a 4.5 furlong sprint April 25. On the sidelines since, she's working fast locally for Wesley Ward, but picks a tough spot in her return. In the mix if ready.
4th pick: #5 (Analyze Your Risk) (7-2) - Unlike most, he's already proven that he can be competitive facing winners. From the barn of Todd Pletcher, solt ships from Maryland where he ran second facing a bit weaker Sept. 2 at Timonium. He worked four times at Belmont before coming to Keeneland, and Pletcher has Javier Castellano aboard.
