Remington Park Picks & Predictions — November 4, 2026

Kaluki leads the field for recent race speed at 12.67 sec/furlong and is the second-rated horse at 53.65, which is enough to separate her from most of this maiden field. Jockey Leandro Goncalves holds a solid A- grade and has shown the ability to win at a 20%-plus clip. The concern is a modest Remington Park record — just one place from four tries here — but on figures and rating, she's the most logical second horse if Banchero does the expected job.

Double Team at 8/1 is worth a look as a first-time starter with no speed figures on record — meaning we're handicapping on connections alone, and trainer Joe Offolter holds a strong A grade. It's always speculative with an unknown quantity in a maiden claimer, but the top trainer angle and competitive morning line give him a puncher's chance, and our simulations gave him a 9.21% win share despite the absence of figures. For exotic players building out the bottom of a trifecta, he's a reasonable toss-in.

Top Shelf Shake at 8/1 offers some value as the second-ranked horse at 54.30 in a wide-open maiden field. The Rene Diaz–J.R. Caldwell combo has hit the board at 52% over the past year with a 22% win rate — a reliable ticket. The concern is that she's placed in just one of her last six starts and is only 1-for-5 at five furlongs, so the distance-surface combo isn't a slam dunk. Still, at 8/1 morning line and with the second-best TrackWiz rating in the race, she's a legitimate exotic inclusion.

Ruby Express brings the powerful Asmussen barn's backing — trainer grade A-, jockey Erik Asmussen at A — with the duo connecting at 61% in-the-money and 24% wins over the past year. She's also dropping down in claiming price from $30,000 to $20,000, which is a meaningful class relief angle in a maiden field. Her 50% career in-the-money rate and best-in-field average speed of 55 make her a legitimate show contender at 5/1, though she has no recent race speed figure listed among the top finishers, so she'll need to step forward on the day.

Rainbow Smiles leads the field in recent race speed at 12.36 sec/furlong and ranks second overall in the TrackWiz ratings at 63.96. She's placed in four of five starts at seven furlongs specifically, making today's distance a genuine strength. The age concern (six years old) is noted, but current form at this exact distance is hard to argue with, and at 6/1, she offers real place value as an exotic anchor underneath Scribble.

Dig Baby Dig might be the most interesting horse for exotic players at 5/1 morning line. He's placed in all three of his starts at seven furlongs — a perfect distance record — and owns a 50% career in-the-money rate across 12 dirt starts. Stewart Elliott brings a solid B+ jockey grade and a 55% board rate over the past year. The knock is a poor overall Remington Park record (just 1 from 6), but the pure distance affinity and competitive speed figure keep him in the exotic mix.

Misses Millie at 4/1 is a real contender for second money with a strong Remington Park profile: two wins and two placements from just three tries here. She's also scored multiple wins at this exact surface-and-distance combo and owns a 55% career in-the-money rate. The only knock is a short 14-day turnaround when she typically needs 30-plus days of rest — that's a legitimate worry — but her local form and familiarity with the conditions are hard to dismiss.

Lucy's Halo drops in claiming price from $10,000 to $7,500, which is a meaningful class relief angle, and she brings multiple wins at this surface-and-distance in her record. Her 57% career in-the-money rate from 13 dirt starts suggests consistent form, and the class drop should help her compete more comfortably. At 7/2 morning line she's not a huge overlay, but as the third horse in a potential trifecta behind Glory O and Misses Millie, she fits naturally.

Marc is the second-rated horse at 73.20 and carries the powerful Asmussen barn angle — trainer Steven Asmussen (A-) with jockey Erik Asmussen (A) — a combo that's won at 24% and hit the board 61% of the time over the past year. He's also placed in two of three starts at Remington Park, showing comfort with the local conditions. At 5/2 morning line he's likely to be heavily supported, and his 23.12% simulation win share makes him a legitimate contender despite not being our top-rated pick.

C.P.A. Jim at 6/1 is the third-rated horse at 72.01 and brings a trainer angle worth noting — the Wethey–Cappellucci combo has hit the board at 62% with a 27% win rate over the past year, among the best trainer-jockey numbers on the card today. He's also placed in each of his last two starts, showing sharp current form. The concern is that he's ranked sixth for recent race speed at 12.32 sec/furlong, which suggests he may need pace help to get involved — but on form and connections, he fits as a solid show play.

Kitty House is the second-rated horse at 72.10 and owns a stunning 78% career in-the-money rate — the highest of any horse in this race by a wide margin — built across three wins and 13 placements from 15 lifetime dirt starts. The Robertino Diodoro–Ramon Vazquez combination brings a 22% win rate and 54% board rate over the past year. The only flag is a relatively slow recent race speed figure (ranked eighth at 12.94 sec/furlong), suggesting she may need to improve off her last run, but her consistency profile alone makes her a cornerstone exotic play.

La Morena at 6/1 is third-rated at 67.86 and ranks second for recent race speed at 12.14 sec/furlong — a figure that holds up well in this field. She's placed in four of her last six starts and has a career record of seven wins and 32 placings from 51 dirt starts, showing she knows how to find the board regularly. The age concern (eight years old) is real, but current form and speed figures make her a logical show play and an attractive third wheel in trifecta combinations.

Winged Lion at 6/1 is the second-highest rated horse in this field at 74.33 and ranks second for recent race speed at 12.39 sec/furlong, putting him in the figures mix behind only Zorritos Dash. Our simulations had him winning 15.14% of runs — well above what a 6/1 price implies — making him a genuine value play for exotic tickets. The knock is zero placements from two Remington Park tries, but on raw ratings and figures, he's the most logical horse to beat Buck O Five.

Dokkodo at 5/1 is the third-rated horse at 70.82 and has placed in three of his last five starts — the best current form cycle of any horse in this field outside of Buck O Five. His 60% career in-the-money rate is excellent for a maiden. The concern is a slow recent race speed figure (ranked eighth at 13.49 sec/furlong), which is a real gap to close — but form, consistency, and a competitive morning line make him a reasonable exotic inclusion in a race where the place and show spots are genuinely up for grabs.
