Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (MO DINERO) (5-1) - He finished a pace-setting 3rd at this distance on the Tapeta surface at Golden Gate Fields Nov. 23 for a $12,500 price tag. Claimed that afternoon by Jonathan Wong ( a 27% winning angle), he switches him back to conventional dirt, he draws a fine outside post, and think he can win this at a square price.
2nd pick: #7 (Thin Line) (9-2) - One of two entered by Doug O'Neill, he finished and even third at this level going 5.5 furlongs Nov 29 at Del Mar. It was his best to date, he's worked fast since, and $75,000 purchase is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Shake N Fries) (3-1) - Competitive in both appearances, he finished a pace-prompting 2nd at this tag and trip Nov. 12 at Del Mar. This home bred gelding has good early speed, has the rail, and he should be involved from gate-to-wire.
4th pick: #8 (Macwinnon) (6-1) - The second of O'Neill trained pair, gelding sold for $140K this past April as a 2yo in training. He tired last out facing tougher going 8.5 furlongs on the Del Mar turf Nov 18. Along with a drop in class and a switch to the dirt, he's making back-to-back starts for the first time.
