Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (BLACKHAWK BEAUTY) (5-1) - Price play is a NEW gelding and runs with blinkers on. He's tired in his first pair when facing tougher and is dropping into a claimer for the first time. Working above average, he has a good shot at a square price.
2nd pick: #2 (Royal Trump) (9-5) - The morning line favorite, he's finished second in two straight. Latest of those came Oct. 7 at Santa Anita when he lost a stretch long battle by a 1/2 length. An obvious win candidate at a short price.
3rd pick: #1 (Time for Cioppino) (6-1) - Stalker tired Sept. 23 at Los Alamitos in a $100K stakes. Competitive earlier this year facing tougher, home bred has the rail and can factor at a square price from his ground saving post.
4th pick: #5 (Luke's On Fire) (3-1) - Colt rallied to finish second at this level Sept. 24 at Los Alamitos. It was a huge move forward off his debut here Aug. 26 and he'd been working above average since. Stretch threat.
