Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (IRAP) (7-2) - Well bred colt stretches out in distance after finishing 3rd at this level when debuting in a 'down the hill' turf race Oct. 22nd at Santa Anita. $300K son of 'Tiznow' has worked fast since and is bred to love the added real estate.
2nd pick: #3 (Avalanche) (5-2) - He was a 1/2-length better than 'Irap' when debuting Oct. 22nd at Santa Anita. He closed strongly and is stretching out in distance for a solid second out barn (John Sadler, 26%).
3rd pick: #1 (Sergio) (5) - Colt has early speed and finished 2nd at this level and distance Oct. 1st at Santa Anita. He showed nothing in a follow up dirt race there Nov. 6th and is brought back quickly while moving back to the turf.
4th pick: #5 (Swinging Star) (6-1) - Freshened up since Oct. 1st, he was two lengths behind 'Sergio' that afternoon. Stretch runner would love a fast and/or contested pace to develop to close into.
