Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (TARASENKO) (2-1) - He enters in very sharp form and is perfectly spotted by trainer Jerry Caldwell. Grey gelding was an easy winner here at this trip facing $15K claimers Sept. 15. He cleared the 3l condition that day and drops to a new low in his first attempt at this 4l level.
2nd pick: #3 (Thiscatsatalkin) (3-1) - Veteran has a bit more early speed than most and ran second here at this tag and trip Sept. 22. It was his first after shipping in from Louisiana Downs and he was in good form there and earlier this year at Lone Star Park.
3rd pick: #10 (Happy Toes) (5-1) - No-speed type is nicely spotted under the alternate condition (non-winners since May 5). A 13 time winner, he's nearing his ninth birthday and has clearly slipped some over the past nine months. Strong finisher would love a fast and/or contested pace to develop to held his late-running style out.
4th pick: #9 (Rackumback Swity) (15-1) - He's racing second back from a four month layoff and is dropping in class. Speed/stalker is capable at this tag and trip and has a shot at a very big price.
