Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (JADE'S AUTUMN SKY) (9-2) - He's been competitive in his first pair and was well backed in each. NEW gelding has fine positional speed, draws well, and home bred is given a slight edge.
2nd pick: #4 (Tin Delay) (5-2) - No speed type has been competitive in all four attempts and is cutting back in distance after finishing 3rd here going a mile Nov 15. Well bred 3yo is an obvious contender and a fast/and or contested pace would help his prospects out.
3rd pick: #3 (Andiamo Giacomo) (6-1) - He has early speed and is breaking near the inside. Colt was very sharp in his first pair but has regressed a bit in his latest two attempts. Home bred enters off a big bullet half-mile local breeze Dec 13 and is dangerous with his 'A' game.
4th pick: #1 (Soul Song) (6-1) - A debuting son of 'Songandaprayer', he's from the barn of Tom Amoss 15 of 60 (25%) with first-time-starters in 2018-19. Working well above average, $30K purchase is in the mix if ready.
5th pick: #5 (By Our Love) (10-1) - Well backed debuting here at this level and distance Nov 23, he tired after bearing out a bit into the first turn. Son of 'Colonel John' had some quick works before that attempt and could easily factor at a big price with that initial experience behind him.
