Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (NORSKI) (2-1) - He finished 2nd at this tag going 6.5 furlongs Oct. 25 at Santa Anita. It was his first at today's $20,000 claiming price, and he meets a very weak field in this spot. 3yo gets top billing.
2nd pick: #10 (Lucky Wally) (3-1) - Lightly raced 4yo has been on the sidelines since missing by a 1/2-length at this level going five furlongs at Los Alamitos Race Course Sept. 22. One-run type can factor with a repeat of that effort.
3rd pick: #4 (Calder Vale) (15-1) - Longshot returns a NEW gelding following a poor effort Sept. 27 that saw him finish far behind 'Norski.' He had nibbled several times prior to that and may be competitive at a big price with his 'A' game.
4th pick: #7 (Fratelli) (7-2) - The fields only debuting maiden, he has a fine series of works on view and need not be anything special to compete against this group in his first attempt.
