Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (TRIBAL JEWEL) (7-2) - Veteran has finished second in both starts since coming off a pair of layoffs and dropping down in claiming price. Speed/stalker has the rail, is at his favorite distance (22-8-5-2) and he's won 5 of 10 on the local dirt in the past.
2nd pick: #6 (Out of Patience) (3-1) - Grey gelding raced evenly when finishing third, 2 lengths in back of 'Tribal Jewel' here Nov. 1. Veteran races third off a Hollendorfer claim and he has Javier Castellano, who is in from New York for the day aboard.
3rd pick: #7 (Dukes Up) (4-1) - Strong finisher has been competitive in all three starts on the West Coast since shipping back from Indiana and returning from a 3 month layoff Aug. 11. In career best form and a stretch threat.
4th pick: #3 (Beaumarchais) (9-2) - Speedy gelding held on to defeat 'Tribal Jewel' here by a 'head' Nov. 1. Competitive in two straight since taking a big drop in class and must be left in the mix.
