Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (BACKYARD HEAVEN) (7-5) - One of two entered by trainer Chad Brown and the pair race uncoupled. Colt finished second at this level and distance when debuting on Sept. 10 at Belmont Park. The winner that day scored again next out and this son of 'Tiznow' enters of a bullet 5-furlong work Dec. 3.

2nd pick: #6 (Ekhtibaar) (5-1) - The second of the pair from trainer Chad Brown, colt has only raced once and that was 28 months ago at Saratoga during the summer of 2015. Shadwell home bred has some impressive works on view and this son of 'Bernardini' is dangerous if ready.

3rd pick: #5 (Strong Side) (8-1) - He's raced a dozen times with six on the dirt and six on the grass. About equal on both surfaces, he enters in good form and has a flexible style. He can factor today especially if 'Ekhtibaar' isn't in racing condition off the long absence.

4th pick: #7 (Unforseeable) (12-1) - Grey gelding by 'Unbridled's Song' cost $550,000 and has been a major disappointment. Even paced type is switching from turf to dirt and may factor in this spot.
