Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (FINANCIAL) (5-2) - Gelding was competitive at this tag Nov. 28th at Del Mar. It was his first back off a seven-week break, and he's brought back quickly for this attempt. A sharp half-mile work at Santa Anita Dec. 9th is a plus. Can take this with just a bit of improvement.
2nd pick: #6 (Awesome Ocean) (2-1) - Lightly raced and speedy, he rated, bid to a short lead, then tired to finish 2nd racing here at this level 11 days ago. Improving sort should be involved from start-to-finish. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Southeast Asia) (4-1) - Long time maiden fits on 'figures' and enters off a pair of even efforts at this tag racing at Del Mar. Can grab a share and maybe more in a weak field.
