Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (BECKER'S GALAXY) (10-1) - Longshot is moving up in class in his first following a Rudy Rodriguez claim (32%). Veteran gelding was a winner going longer Oct 27 at Belmont facing $25K 'open' claimers the day he changed barns. He's worked fast since and won his only previous local start. Has a solid shot at a big price.
2nd pick: #2 (West Hills Giant) (4-1) - Stretch runner rallied to check in second here going 6-furlongs facing a solid group of veteran high end claimers Nov 11. He's been competitive in three of his four local appearances and is a late threat.
3rd pick: #3 (Bust Another) (7-2) - He ships up from Philly Park and is racing third back of a two month break. 3yo has more early speed than most and has won two of four here in the past. In his only previous race at this distance, he won the $125,000 Mike Lee Stakes May 30 at Belmont Park.
4th pick: #4 (Empire Drama) (5-2) - Veteran is shortening up in distance for this attempt. He's won on the main track here in the past and has been competitive in all four starts at this distance. Stretch factor, but morning line favorite is no 'lock' at a short price.
