Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (SUPER PATRIOT) (3-1) - She improved noticeably when switched to the grass for the first time Oct. 29 at Santa Anita. Going 6.5 furlongs on the 'down the hill' course at this level, daughter of 'Unusual Heat' raced close up before rallying to finish 4th. She's racing second back off a two-month break, and trainer Bob Baffert brings her back in 22 days while stretching her out in distance. Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #2 (Mo See Cal) (2-1) - Daughter of 'Uncle Mo' is the field's only first-time-starter. Filly has an impressive series of works on view, including a five-furlong bullet from the gate Oct. 31. She could be long gone against this group if ready.
3rd pick: #1 (X S Gold) (6-1) - She raced evenly when debuting at this level in a dirt sprint Oct. 5 at Santa Anita. Trainer Jim Cassidy (15% second time out) moves her to the grass while stretching her out in distance. Bred to love both changes, she has a ground saving post, and is a factor at a square price.
