Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (FRAC CANDY) (3-1) - Colt has been bet heavily in all four appearances. Competitive in each, he broke his maiden at this distance Oct 24 at Santa Anita racing for a $30K tag. Claimed that day by Peter Miller, he has him nicely spotted in this starter-allowance. Speed/stalker draws the rail and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #8 (Suavemente) (6-1) - Just like 'Frac Candy,' he's been bet in every start and broke his maiden going 5.5-furlongs at Santa Anita Oct 22. Calif. bred faces both winners and 'open' company today, but his early speed makes him dangerous.
3rd pick: #3 (Go Long) (6-1) - Freshened up since Oct 10, he's taking a much needed drop in class. A maiden winner here in a dirt sprint July 18, he's tired badly in three straight going longer, facing tougher since then.
4th pick: #9 (Panther Creek) (5-1) - Texas bred broke his maiden here Aug 7, but has raced evenly while not threatening in both starts facing tougher since then. Bard has him working fast and is dropping him in class for this attempt.
