Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (ESKENFORADRINK) (8-5) - Filly cuts back a furlong and a turf following a pace-setting second place finish at this tag going a mile Oct. 18 at Santa Anita. The 3yo has now run second in three straight the latest pair after a claim by the top barn of Peter Miller. She will be tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #3 (Trappiza) (4-1) - One of two 4yos entered, she just missed at this tag going a mile at Los Alamitos Sept. 22. In her follow up Oct. 25 at Santa Anita, she rallied to finish a distant third at this distance to a heavy favorite and 'much the best' winner. She should factor today.
3rd pick: #4 (Sweet Congrats) (5-2) - $160,000 purchase is dropping down in class, switching from grass to dirt, and is brought back on a quick turnaround (15 days). Sharp in 3 of her last 4 on the turf, she's a win candidate against a rather weak field.
