Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (BILTMORE BOOGIE) (7-5) - Veteran speed/stalker was an easy four-length winner in his local debut Oct. 16. Calif. bred has won three of his last five and can take another in this spot.
2nd pick: #8 (Local One Thirty) (3-1) - Old timer has a very good local record 11-4-1-3 and was a winner here Oct. 17 racing at this level. Six-year-old has enough early speed to stay close and try making a run at 'Biltmore Boogie' turning for home.
3rd pick: #1 (Sciatica) (6-1) - Stretch runner rallied to finish third, 2.5 lengths behind 'Biltmore Boogie' here Oct. 16. Consistent sort would love a fast and/or contested pace to develop to help his late run count.
4th pick: #5 (Arctic Vortex) (15-1) - On the sidelines since Aug. 7, his form was headed in the wrong direction at that time. He had been competitive in four straight at Emerald Downs prior to that and worked a bullet three furlongs locally Oct. 15.
