Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (HARROVIAN) (2-1) - He's dropping to a new low and returns to the scene of his maiden win. Three-year-old rallied to score by 3.5 lengths racing here at this distance for an $18,000 price tag Sept. 23. He tired in his first facing winners at Del Mar Nov. 1 facing $16K foes at this 2l condition. Nicely spotted and he'll be tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #1 (Bow and Arrow) (7-2) - Lightly-raced, he also broke his maiden here at this distance on Sept. 23. He raced evenly at Del Mar Nov. 1 and was in front of a tiring 'Harrovian' at he finish. Claimed that day by Andy Werner for $16,000, gelding raced evenly on the grass facing tougher Nov. 17 in his first for the new barn. Back on the dirt, he's down in class, and draws a ground saving post. Contends today.
3rd pick: #2 (Lucky Patrick) (5-1) - After breaking his maiden at this distance July 8 at Pleasanton, 4-year-old has raced very poorly in four starts facing winners. He's dropping to a new low, stretching back out for this attempt, and may get a share at a square price.
4th pick: #3 (Summer Buddha) (20-1) - Speedy gelding is another dropping and stretching out. He's capable of getting a share at a big price, but would need a career best for any shot at the win end.
