Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (FRENCH QUARTER) (7-2) - One of many veterans entered, he's dropping in class while shortening un a turn and a bit of distance for this attempt. Stalker draws a fine post, is in shape, and I give him a slight edge.
2nd pick: #6 (Peppi the Hunter) (3-1) - Speedy veteran takes the same drop as 'French Quarter' after tiring to finish behind that rival here Dec. 7. He had bee razor sharp in three straight prior to that and is a win candidate from the barn of Jorge Navarro.
3rd pick: #10 (Love Tree) (5-1) - He's stretching out in distance following a air of useful efforts sprinting at this level. 7yo has done well at this mile trip in the past and stalker draws a nice post for his style.
