Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (MY BOY TATE) (9-5) - Lightly-raced 3yo looked great when winning a state bred first level allowance going 6.5 furlongs Nov 12. Sharp in four straight, speed/stalker is nicely spotted and believe he'll be heading into stakes competition if he wins this.
2nd pick: #4 (Giantinthemoonlite) (4-1) - Veteran has been beaten under a length in two straight at this level, one each here and at Belmont. He seems best at this 7 furlong trip and strong finisher would love a fast/and or contested pace to develop to rally into.
3rd pick: #6 (Brimstone) (6-1) - Speedy 5yo set the pace before tiring very late to finish a close up 4th here at this level Nov 11. He was only a 1/2 length behind 'Giantinthemoonlite' that afternoon and think he can factor at a big price.
4th pick: #3 (Global Positioning) (8-1) - Veteran gelding moves up in class after checking in an even 4th here facing weaker Nov 30. Claimed that day by Abby Adsit for $25K, stalker fits with his best and think he can grab a share at a square price.
