Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (JAG MAN) (3-1) - Well bred gelding rallied to finish second here at this level Nov 24. It was his first in a claimer and first back off a pair of layoffs. His connections moved him up in class last out and he raced evenly while never involved. The drop back down can land him in the winner's circle.
2nd pick: #1 (Valid Prospector) (5-2) - He's clearly the main speed and he breaks from the rail. Gelding has finished second in two of his last three starts and should be involved every step from his inside draw.
3rd pick: #4 (Charlie's Revival) (6-1) - Long time maiden stretches out a furlong after a pair of even efforts here at this level going 6.5-furlongs. Gelding is racing third back from a five month layoff and can factor at a square price.
4th pick: #3 (Zarb's Cat) (6-1) - Blinkers go on 4-year-old who enters off an even effort here Dec 18. He's been bet several times and may be heading into a competitive race.
