Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (IT'SINTHEPOST) (5-1) - This veteran stalker won a G2 going 14 furlongs at Santa Anita Nov. 1. It was his third start back following a 10-month layoff, and he's won three of five at this distance in the past. The 7yo gets a slim edge here.
2nd pick: #10 (United) (5-2) - The morning line and probable favorite, he missed by a 'head' in the Breeders' Cup Turf (G1) at this distance Nov. 2 at Santa Anita. It earned by a career best figure and was his fifth straight sharp effort. This 4yo is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Cleopatra's Strike) (9-2) - Gelding has been freshened up since winning a G2 going 10 furlongs at Santa Anita Sept. 28. It was his second back following a series of layoffs, and this stalker should be involved every step.
4th pick: #3 (Zestful) (12-1) - The main speed, he missed by just under a length to 'It'sinthepost' in a G2 going 14 furlongs Nov. 1. That broke a six-race winning streak, and this 4yo by 'Ghostzapper' must be left in the mix.
