Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (NORSKI) (7-2) - He finished third going 6 furlongs for a $50K tag Aug. 23 at Del Mar in his first since Feb 2. 3yo has worked fast since, drops down a bit, and I give him a slight edge.
2nd pick: #4 (High Five) (5-1) - Son of 'Street Sense' had a poor start before rushing up and tiring to finish fourth, just over a length behind 'Norski' Aug. 23 at Del Mar. It was his second back after a two month break and his early speed makes him dangerous.
3rd pick: #2 (Alvaaro) (3-1) - He finished second when debuting at this tag Sept. 28 of last year at Santa Anita. Claimed that day by Doug O'Neill' he returns a NEW gelding and off some solid works at the San Luis Rey Center. A threat if ready.
4th pick: #1 (Git On Your Pupit) (6-1) - He's finished second in four of his eight starts but hasn't raced since Oct. 18. The level and distance are fine and this 4yo stalker is dangerous if ready off the long absence.
