Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (PEE WEE REESE) (3-1) - Cal bred has won four of five starts since switching to the turf and missed by a length in his only defeat. The main speed, he won a stakes at this distance July 4 at Santa Anita, is training fast, and he's clearly the main speed.
2nd pick: #2 (Om ) (2-1) - Veteran tries hard every time and was beaten only two lengths in the Breeders' Cup Turf Mile (G1) here Nov. 4. 5yo has a very good record on the grass (16-4-5-5), is working fast, and I believe he's the main danger.
3rd pick: #4 (He Will) (5-1) - Strong finisher rallied while wide to win the Lure Stakes here at this distance Nov. 2. Consistent veteran is now 6-2-2-0 on the local turf and is a late threat despite facing a tougher group.
4th pick: #1 (Mr Roary) (6-1) - Speed/stalker has been competitive in three of five starts since coming off a 7.5-month layoff June 16. Over-matched last out in the Breeders' Cup Turf Mile (G1) Nov. 4, he has the rail, and is capable of factoring with his best.
