Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (GUICK) (3-1) - He's dropping to a new low in his first back from a seven-week freshening. Sped/stalker draws outside of the other pace types, and that gives him the edge at this 6.5-furlong distance.

2nd pick: #6 (Lightning Buzz) (2-1) - Speedy sort raced very wide while losing by only 1.5 lengths here at this level going six furlongs Oct. 6. It was his first start since Aug. 20 at Saratoga, and he had a tough outside post in his latest. Draws better today and is dangerous.

3rd pick: #2 (Shamrocked) (9-2) - Lightly raced gelding takes on winners for the first time. He was placed 1st here at this distance Sept. 22 to pick up his maiden win and came back with a bullet half-mile work Oct. 6. Capable of impacting with some improvement.

4th pick: #1 (Ten Twenty Nine) (10-1) - Longshot hasn't seen action since April 9. Consistent sort is working steadily, has the rail, and has factored facing tougher in the past. A threat at a square price if ready.
