Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (BIG HUNK) (3-1) - Gelding takes a big drop and is switching from grass to dirt in his 2nd start. He raced evenly in his turf debut Nov 10 at Del Mar and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #4 (Fabrication) (5-2) - The morning line favorite, he just missed here at this level Sept. 21, but raced evenly in his follow up at Santa Anita Oct 7. Speed/stalker fits with his best and is a win candidate if that's the case.
3rd pick: #8 (Country Fast) (6-1) - Longshot is cutting back in distance and runs with blinkers off. $105K purchase is working fast and has a shot at a square price in this rather poor looking group.
4th pick: #6 (Mac Lovin) (6-1) - NEW gelding has been freshened up since Sept. 3 and is working steadily for his return. Think he'll be in this from gate-to-wire.
