Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (KNIGHT'S CROSS) (8-1) - Longshot had some traffic issues and also did not keep a straight course down the stretch when beaten 7 lengths here at this level and distance Sep 29. He still earned a career best figure and grey son of 'Mizzen Mast' has Flavien Prat aboard for the first time.
2nd pick: #2 (Neptune's Storm) (4-1) - NEW gelding finished in front of 'Knight's Cross' last out in his first time on the grass. Well bred gelding is from a wining barn (Bill Morey) , has positional speed, and breaks just off the rail.
3rd pick: #1 (Union Station) (15-1) - $200,000 son of 'Union Rags' has shown some ability in two of three on the dirt, He's bred to like the grass, has the rail, and trainer Eoin Harty worked him here four times during October. Colt can factor at a very big price.
4th pick: #3 (Weekly Call) (5-1) - Expensive ($350,000) colt finished 2nd here on the turf at this distance for a $100,000 claiming price which is virtually the same level as this Special Weight contest. It was a nice move forward off his dirt debut Sep 20 and his rider Raf Bejarano has been on a positive roll the past three weeks following a long'cold' spell.
5th pick: #4 (Farquhar) (8-1) - Gulfstream shipper raced both wide and evenly when debuting there Sep 15 at this levl and distance. He has a new trainer (Vlad Cerin {24%} with new arivals), and he adds both Lasix and blinkers. $200K colt has a fine series of local works on view and may be ready for a big race with all the changes.
