Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (ALLTHELEAVESRBROWN) (3-1) - Gelding by 'Big Brown' rallied to finish a non-threatening third following a slow start at this tag going two-turns Oct 10 at Santa Anita. One run type has worked fast since and Bejarano is aboard for the first time.
2nd pick: #10 (Rob's Pal) (8-1) - Price play stretches out in distance in his third back from a 16-month layoff. He improved in his latest and finished second at this level and distance on the Santa Anita dirt Jan 10 of 2014.
3rd pick: #7 (Born to Serve) (7-2) - Speedy sort is dropping in class after tiring last out at Santa Anita racing for twice this tag. He's worked fast since and is a serious threat to go wire-to-wire if left unchallenged in the early stages.
4th pick: #2 (Dakota Deacon) (6-1) - Lightly-raced, he returns off a three month layoff a NEW gelding. Working fine he's racing at a new low for his new barn (Ron Ellis 22% with new arrivals).
5th pick: #6 (Ballplayer) (15-1) - He's shown little in both starts but has taken betting action in each. Trainer Bob Hess Jr. has him trying a two-turn distance for the first time. A minor award at a big price would appear to be his ceiling.
