Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (TWIRLING TIGER) (2-1) - Gelding has been competitive in seven of nine overall and enters off a career best figure Nov 26 at Del Mar. Racing at this level and distance, he was involved every step and missed by a 1/2 length while four lengths clear of today's rival 'Mishegas.' It was only his second ever on real dirt and he's worked above average since. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #6 (Nicaradalic Rocks) (9-2) - He raced evenly in the same last race as 'Twirling Tiger.' Gelding was seven lengths behind him that afternoon, but is moving off the rail. Stretch runner should love the long stretch here.
3rd pick: #5 (Mishegas) (3-1) - He split 'Twirling Tiger' and 'Nicaradalic Rocks" last out in what was an even effort. Another that likes to come from off the pace and the long stretch here is a plus for him.
