Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (TIMELY REPLY) (3-1) - Speedy sort is racing third back from a 3.5 month break and is taking a big drop in class. He's been tiring when facing much tougher and is racing with blinkers on from trainer Scott Young. The 3-year-old should win this.
2nd pick: #4 (Westbox) (2-1) - He rallied to finish second here at this level going 5.5 furlongs Oct. 7. It was his second back from a half year's absence and he's a stretch threat in this spot.
3rd pick: #6 (Affiant) (10-1) - Gelding tired after rushing up following a bumping incident at the break when debuting Oct. 7. She was eight lengths behind 'Westbox' that day but should factor at a big price with a trouble free beginning.
4th pick: #2 (Bad E) (3-1) - Grey gelding has some early speed and has finished within a reasonable range in four straight here at this level. Can factor again, but 3-year-old needs to do better during the stretch run.
