Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (MAGIC MOON) (5-2) - Lightly raced and well bred, he's stretching out in distance following a wide 4th place finish here at this tag going 6.5-furlongs Dec 5. Trainer Bob Baffert brings him back quickly for his 2nd back from a 9-week freshening. $200K gelding by 'Malibu Moon' gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Selection) (5-1) - He's raced himself back into shape after coming back off a pair of layoffs. He finished 2nd here at this tag & trip Dec 4. Has the rail and he's a win threat in this spot.
3rd pick: #3 (Feasibility) (6-1) - Grey 3yo by 'Tapit' ships in from Turf Paradise where he rallied to miss by a 1/12 length there racing on the grass. He ran 2nd when debuting in a dirt sprint at Penn National Sep 12 and this improving colt is a stretch threat.
4th pick: #2 (Roth) (8-1) - Very lightly raced gelding has tired badly in both starts facing tougher. Trainer Jeff Mullins has worked him 5-times since Nov 15. He has him making back to back starts and stretching out in distance, both for the first time.
