Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (CARNELIAN HERO) (8-5) - Gelding is shortening up a furlong after missing by a 'nose' at this level going 7 furlongs Oct 31. Involved every step that afternoon, he'll be tough to beat with a repeat of the figure earned.
2nd pick: #6 (Extractor) (3-1) - Debuting son of 'Creative Cause' has been in steady training at Los Alamitos for Brian Koriner 20% (7 of 35) first out in 2018-19. Colt debuts with Lasix and is a win candidate if ready.
3rd pick: #2 (Baltimore Beecho) (10-1) - Colt is one two entered by trainer Jorge Periban. Home bred has early speed, breaks just off the rail, and is a threat at a big price if he gets an uncontested lead in the first quarter-mile.
4th pick: #4 (Papa Tony) (5-1) - He showed good early speed before tiring in a dirt sprint debuting Oct 31 at Santa Anita, then was a bit rank next out here at a mile on the grass Nov 14. Gelding is capable of factoring with just a bit of improvement.
