Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (AMERICAN LEAGUE) (2-1) - Colt is going turf to dirt, dropping into a claimer for the first time, and is racing with blinkers on. He's raced evenly when well backed in both dirt sprints and is working very fast for this assignment.
2nd pick: #5 (I'm Not Bullish) (4-1) - Another going turf to dirt, grey colt is shortening up in distance and drops back down. Son of 'Flashy Bull' has a pair of sharp works showing at Santa Anita since he last raced.
3rd pick: #2 (King Pacal) (4-1) - He's the field's only first-time starter. He sold for $30,000 this past spring as a 2-year-old in training and debuts for a $50K tag. Working very fast locally and it's noted that Marty Garcia is aboard for a very small barn.
4th pick: #3 (Alaskan Cruise) (3-1) - Gelding chased and held down the place spot Nov 20 at Del Mar facing just a bit tougher. Contest was dominated by the top two finishers in a race run in swift time for the five furlongs (:57 Flat). Can factor today.
