Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (TALE OF THE PRINCE) (6-1) - Price play has early speed, moves to a better post, and races as a NEW gelding. Home bred by 'Tale of the Cat' is racing 3rd back from a long layoff and is a major player at a big price.
2nd pick: #9 (Taken Back) (2-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, he rallied to miss by a 'neck' here at this level and distance Nov 20. By far a career best, it was his 2nd back from an 8 month layoff and he's an obvious win candidate at a short price.
3rd pick: #5 (Strollin Spree) (5-1) - Speedy sort pressed the pace before weakening to finish 3rd here Nov 20. It was a solid effort but 3yo was 5 lengths behind 'Taken back' that evening. He has to improve for anything more than a minor award.
4th pick: #6 (Far Out Time) (9-2) - Another with some early speed, he's been competitive in five straight starts with the latest three of those coming here. With a more patient ride think he can grab a share in this spot.
