Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (THE UNION FOREVER) (8-5) - 3yo dueled while wide and held to finish 2nd here facing tougher going a mile Nov. 16. He's brought back quickly by a winning barn (Fred Villafranco) and draws a nice outside post for this seven-furlong distance. Ready to win.
2nd pick: #6 (Bango Box) (4-1) - Home bred runs of a seven-week break, switches from grass to dirt, and is shortening up in distance. He's finished 3rd in in three of four on the dirt in the past and enters off a bullet half-mile work Nov. 22.
3rd pick: #1 (Unbridled Encore) (8-1) - Gelding rallied to miss by a 1/2 length here at this distance facing weaker Nov. 11. Competitive in three straight, he was only 1.5 lengths in back of 'The Union Forever' at this $20K tag. Can factor at a square price.
4th pick: #7 (John's Legacy) (5-1) - No speed type rallied to finish 2nd here at this tag going a mile Nov. 1. It was only his second start in 13 attempts on the dirt, and he's capable of getting a share, but he'll have to do so from a long ways back.
