Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (UPTOWN BLING) (7-2) - He's the main speed of those that have raced and he breaks from the rail. Texas bred missed by a length here at this tag in his local debut Nov 1, hen checked in a troubled 4th in his follow up Nov 20. Think he can go gate-to-wire against this group.
2nd pick: #3 (Icy Willie) (8-1) - Home bred tired when debuting here facing tougher in a 5 furlong sprint Nov 16. Trainer Henry Johnson Jr (19% 2nd time out) drops him into a claimer ( 4 for his last 10 {40%}) and stretches him out in distance. He's dangerous at a square price.
3rd pick: #6 (Whiskey Storm) (2-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, gelding by 'Flat Out' has worked five times here since late October. Trainer Tom Amoss has won with 14 of 64 (22%) debuting runners since the beginning of 2017 and he has his local 'go to' rider Gerard Melancon aboard. They've won at a strong 35% when teamed up over the past 23.5 months.
