Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (SWISS CHEESE) (2-1) - Very competitive 4yo has gone 6-2-3-0 to date with all of those starts coming in dirt sprints. Stalker missed by a 'neck' here facing tougher Dec 5 and gets a slight edge in today's finale.
2nd pick: #6 (Mr. Itkins) (7-2) - He's finished 2nd in two straight, the latest coming here at this $8000 claiming price Dec 3. Claimed that day by Jose Avalos, he brings him back quickly at the purchase price. Gelding moves off the rail and that's a plus for him. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Mr. Zippers) (9-2) - Reddam home bred has won 2 of 4 racing on the dirt and scored here in a 5-furlong sprint Dec 4. Improving sort is a threat from off the pace.
4th pick: #8 (Swiss Silver) (12-1) - Grey gelding is racing back into shape following his return from a 6 1/2 month layoff Sep 12. He ran evenly last out for twice this price and runs today in a career soft spot. Price play.
