Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (MAJID) (8-5) - This $295,000 son of 'Shackleford' has been on the sidelines since Sept. 2. He's had legitimate excuses in his first pair and runs today off a private trainer change to Rudy Rodriguez (30% with new arrivals). He drops him into a claimer (21%), and this colt should break his maiden in this weak spot.
2nd pick: #5 (Lucid Dream) (9-2) - NEW gelding showed little in his first pair, but both came facing much tougher. Unraced since Sept. 29, he's dropping into a claimer here, working steadily, and should be competitive for the first time.
3rd pick: #6 (Never Felt Better) (8-1) - One of two making their debuts, he's been in steady training since late October, and is from a capable barn (Ray Handal). This colt may grab a minor award if ready.
