Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (FELIX LEITER) (10-1) - Longshot made up some ground following a slow start when debuting at this level and distance Nov. 4 at Santa Anita. He had a tough post (12 of 12) that afternoon, draws better, and I think he has a shot at a very big price.
2nd pick: #11 (Mobou) (7-2) - Son of 'Uncle Mo' stretches out in distance while racing on the grass for the first time. Colt has early speed, is bred for turf success, and Mike Smith replaces the newly retired Gary Stevens.
3rd pick: #4 (Speakerofthehouse) (9-2) - He rallied to miss by a 1/2-length Nov. 4 at Santa Anita in a solid effort in his second start. Colt raced much closer to the pace that afternoon and is an obvious contender today.
4th pick: #6 (Leader of Men) (8-1) - Son of 'War Front' made up a lot of ground when debuting Nov. 4. He broke poorly, raced between horses, and is another longshot that could factor today at a big price.
