Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (LON'S TRUE PASSION) (7-2) - One of two entered by leading trainer Ramon Preciado and the pair ace uncoupled. Colt chased the pace while very wide when debuting here Oct. 11 and held gamely to check in third. He's worked since and the additional 1/2 a furlong he travels today is in his favor.
2nd pick: #3 (Arturito) (5-1) - The second of the Preciado pair, he ran evenly while extremely wide when debuting in the same race as 'Lon's True Passion'. Colt was only 1.5 lengths behind his barn mate and has a shot at a square price.
3rd pick: #4 (Unbridled Gift) (10-1) - One of five making their debuts, this son of 'Malibu Moon' worked a near bullet five furlongs here Oct. 12. From an underrated barn (Alf Velazquez) $52K purchase may factor at long odds.
4th pick: #9 (Spirit Special) (4-1) - He was purchased for $57,000 at the same sale in March as 'Unbridled Gift.' Son of 'Ghostzapper has some well above average local breezes on view and is from a capable trainer (Kate DeMasi).
