Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (TOOHOTTOEVENSPEAK) (7-2) - Owner/trainer Dave Jacobson brings him back quickly and strong finisher missed by a 1/2 length here facing weaker Nov. 25. It was his first start sine Oct. 2 and he should get a favorable pace set-up to rally into. He gets a very slight edge.
2nd pick: #8 (Virga) (3-1) - Lightly-raced 3-year-old lost all chance when he stumbled at the break racing here Nov 5. Gelding tired after rushing up to chase the pace and should be involved every step with a clean beginning.
3rd pick: #7 (Zartax) (4-1) - Consistent sort missed by a 'neck' here facing weaker Nov. 5. Claimed that day by Abby Adsit, she moves him up in class for this attempt. Speed/stalker must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #6 (Our Karma) (8-1) - Freshened up since June 12, he drops in class for his return. Working fine locally, he may grab a share if ready.
