Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (AMPHIBIAN) (3-1) - Speedy and lightly raced 4yo ships from the Fair Grounds where he's tired in a pair at this level going 6 furlongs. He's racing 3rd back following a 100-day break, shortens up a furlong, and leading rider Tim Thornton is aboard.
2nd pick: #5 (Canrunalittle) (12-1) - Longshot tired here at this tag going 6.5 furlongs at a distance he was trying for the first time. He'd been competitive in two of four at this trip prior to that and think he can factor at a big price.
3rd pick: #4 (Ouachita) (2-1) - The morning-line favorite, he rallied while wide to finish a distant third debuting here at this distance Nov 6 for a $20K tag. 6yo runs with blinkers on, drops by 1/2 to $10,000, and is an obvious threat.
4th pick: #10 (Good Air) (6-1) - The field's most experienced maiden, he raced evenly at this level and distance Dec. 20 following a pair of solid efforts under similar conditions. 4yo is a late threat if able to avoid a wide journey.
