Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (ENGLANDAR) (7-2) - This colt has been on the sidelines since May 19 when he finished 3rd at this level going 6.5 furlongs on the Santa Anita turf. Training above average, he gets a slight edge if ready.
2nd pick: #1 (Shaky Alibi) (4-1) - Speedy 4yo moves back up in class after finishing 3rd here for a $62,500 claiming price Nov. 11. Competitive in all three on this course, he has the rail, and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Raging Tiger) (9-2) - This home bred runs off a private trainer change to Jeff Bonde. Colt missed by just under a length going 6.5 furlongs on the Santa Anita turf Oct. 21. Away slowly in both starts, he's stretching out in distance, and Irad Ortiz, Jr., who is in for the day, takes the mount.
4th pick: #2 (Solar Warming) (6-1) - He ships in from Keeneland where he rallied to finish 4th Oct. 24. It was his best so far, and he's worked above average three times here since arriving.
