Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (NINETY NINE PROOF) (7-2) - One of two in-form sprinters stretching out, he moves up just a bit in his 2nd following a claim by Peter Miller. The 4yo is in career-best form, has the rail, and he can win this from on or just off the lead.
2nd pick: #6 (King Abner) (4-1) - The other sprinter stretching out, he was only a length in back of 'Ninety Nine Proof' Sept. 23 but was 6 behind him Oct. 20. Stalker should be involved from the start and is a threat if that common rival tires late.
3rd pick: #8 (New Karma) (6-1) - Veteran has been competitive in 8 straight and he ran 3rd going a mile on the Santa Anita grass last out. He runs off a claim by Anna Meah and all three of her previous starters here last week were very competitive.
