Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (MR. ITKINS) (2-1) - He's raced himself back into shape after coming off almost a 3 1/2 month layoff Sept 3. Speed/stalker drops in class after finishing second of nine, beaten just under a length facing tougher Oct 22 at Santa Anita. He's working fast, has the rail, and is the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #8 (Johnny Reb) (4-1) - Versatile gelding has won four of his last five, including a sharp score here facing weaker Sept 12. Speed/stalker enters in career best form and is dangerous from just off the pace.

3rd pick: #4 (Soul Crusher) (5-2) - Once promising type was a winner here at this tag going 5-furlongs July 11. Claimed that afternoon, he did not run again for almost 100-days. Five-year-old ran evenly in his return at this tag Oct 17 at Santa Anita. Working fast locally since the, he needs his best for a shot at the top spot.

4th pick: #7 (Okaad) (8-1) - He's raced poorly in a trio of races since coming off a 10-month layoff in early August. There was a time when he would have beaten this group, but that a long while ago now. Needs a turnaround.
