Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (MATCH PLAY) (3-1) - One of three making their debuts, he's been working fast here since early October. Baffert wins at a 21% rate first out, and this gelding by 'Mineshaft' looks set for a sharp effort.
2nd pick: #7 (Gentrified) (8-1) - Longshot has raced evenly in his first pair. Freshened up for almost two months, he's working fast at Los Alamitos and has blinkers on.
3rd pick: #9 (Bobby Abu Dhabi) (9-2) - Debuting son of 'Macho no' cost $335,000 this past April as a 2yo in training. Working fast, and he draws a nice outside post for this trip.
4th pick: #6 (The Party Factor) (15-1) - Grey colt cost $125K this past April and is working fast at Los Alamitos for his first since Aug. 28th. He tired that day after showing fine early speed against a good group.
