Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (BARBAROSSA) (2-1) - Home bred by 'More Than Ready' has been freshened up since missing by just under a length at this level going 5.5 furlongs at Saratoga Aug. 25. Working steadily for trainer Todd Pletcher, colt should love the added distance he travels today.

2nd pick: #4 (Nolinski) (9-2) - Colt rallied to finish second when debuting at Saratoga going 5.5 furlongs Aug 16. He worked a near bullet half-mile here Oct. 1 and is an obvious contender.

3rd pick: #10 (Causeforcelebration) (8-1) - One of two entered by trainer Tom Morley and the pair race uncoupled. Colt rallied strongly to finish third here at this level going 6 furlongs Sept. 23. It was his first on the turf and a huge improvement over his dirt debut Aug. 31.

4th pick: #11 (Ten Eyk) (15-1) - The second of the Tom Morley trained pair, he's shortening up a furlong following an even effort here going a mile Sept. 20. He's worked twice since and may grab a share at a big price.

5th pick: #1 (Rockin Jo) (5-1) - Colt set a quick pace and held gamely to finish second here going a mile Sept. 20. A career best, it was his third start and first on the grass. He has the rail, shortens up a furlong, and must be left in the mix.
