Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (FASHIONABLY FAST) (2-1) - Harris Farm's home bred has won three in a row, with two of those coming here during the Summer meet. Stalker earned a career best figure last out and I give him a slight edge today.
2nd pick: #5 (Oliver) (5-2) - Hard hitter moves back in with state breds after tiring going a mile in a stakes facing 'open' company Oct. 27 at Santa Anita. Stalker likes it here (5-2-1-2), draws a fine post at this trip in a small field, and I could have easily made him the top selection.
3rd pick: #2 (Grinning Tiger) (3-1) - Dramatically improved of late, he switches back to the dirt after missing by a 'neck' in a $100K turf sprint Oct. 19 at Santa Anita. He's won seven of 20 on the dirt and is capable of factoring if he holds his present form.
