Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (DIXIE CARAVAN) (3-1) - Colt has been heavily bet in both starts and last out at Fresno he missed by a 'neck' facing tougher. Speed/stalker has been freshened up since that Oct 12 attempt and is working fast locally for this assignment. Colt drops into a claimer, has the rail, and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Cherokee Dynasty) (5-2) - Colt ran evenly when debuting at Santa Anita June 13 facing tougher. Tommy Town home bred had some problems at the break that afternoon and had to rush up into a quick pace. Drops for this and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Lucky Snow) (6-1) - He had good position when debuting here Sept 17, but had to pull up after he slammed into another runner who had fallen. In his follow up race he was eliminated at the break when steadied and squeezed. Drops and can factor with a clean beginning and a trouble-free trip.
4th pick: #9 (Remember Clement) (7-2) - Gelding is working nicely here for his first since debuting locally Sept 24. He ran evenly that day facing better and is in the barn of veteran Art Sherman (27% second time out).
