Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (RUN AWAY BRETT) (2-1) - Lightly raced and speedy, gelding tired to finish fourth here facing tougher on a muddy surface Nov. 6. It was his second back following an 11.5 month layoff and tonight he's dropping into a claimer for the first time. He'll be a handful in this spot.
2nd pick: #5 (Major Shipman) (3-1) - Gelding drops back down after a 'toss' effort here facing tougher Nov. 6. In his second start back after an eight week freshening that night, he lost his footing at the break and ran evenly once in stride. Gelding had missed by a 'nose' sprinting on the grass in his previous attempt and must be considered dangerous.
3rd pick: #2 (Copper Candy) (9-2) - Home bred raced both wide and evenly debuting here at this level and distance in a grass sprint Sept. 29. Trainer Bret Calhoun 17% 2nd time out switches him t the dirt 18% and this 3yo must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #1 (Jomo) (10-1) - Texas bred finished a distant second here going 6 furlongs for a $7,500 price tag Oct. 19. He has some early speed, breaks from the rail, and can see him holding down a share at a big price.
