Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (TAPIZARS SECRET) (7-2) - He finished a close up 3rd here at this level and distance Nov. 16 in his first start in 2.5 months. Speedy 4yo was a 'head' behind today's rival 'Kid Slipper', but think he can reverse that decision in this spot.
2nd pick: #1 (Kid Slipper) (2-1) - Very sharp in seven straight attempts, he finished second here Nov. 16 and was a 'head' in front of 'Tapizars Secret'. In form, he has the rail, and leading rider Tim Thornton is getting aboard.
3rd pick: #7 (Impact Player) (3-1) - A lightly raced 5yo by 'City Zip', he's racing first off a Steve Asmussen claim, a 20% winning angle dating back to Jan. 1 of 2019. Stretch runner is racing third back following a 6.5 month layoff and should get a fast and/or contested pace to rally into.
