Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (T LOVES A FIGHT) (7-2) - Freshened up since Nov. 19 he tired that afternoon facing tougher. Home bred had rallied to finish second at this level in his previous start and his outside post will give jockey Kendrick Carmouche some early options in this small field.
2nd pick: #5 (Giant Rocks) (9-5) - The morning line and probable favorite, he's dropping down to a new low and is shortening up in distance. Competitive several times in the past facing tougher gelding is an obvious win candidate with Jose Ortiz aboard.
3rd pick: #3 (Save the Tigers) (6-1) - Lightly-raced gelding tired here at this trip facing tougher Dec. 16. It was his first following a Carlos Martin claim and he drops him back down to the claimed price for this attempt.
