Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (GO BO GO) (5-2) - Colt raced very while checking in a close-up third here for twice this price Nov. 1. It was his first following a Ramon Preciado claim and he drops him down the price he was taken for ($10,000).
2nd pick: #1 (Win Wish) (7-2) - Speedy gelding has gone 6-0-4-2 locally since early Sept. All of those starts have been at this level and 5-year-old should be involved from gate-to-wire.
3rd pick: #4 (Strike Bold) (4-1) - Five-year-old missed by a 'nose' here at this level Nov. 8. Stalker races off a big positive trainer switch to Mike Penaloza (a 20% winning angle). He's back in shape following several layoffs and is a win candidate.
4th pick: #3 (Cozy Lover) (8-1) - Lightly-raced 3-year-old drops in class and shortens up in distance. Jersey bred still has room for upside and may grab a minor award with a bit of improvement.
5th pick: #7 (Big Talkin) (6-1) - He's finished second in four of his last five overall and last out he missed by a 1/2 length here at this level going seven furlongs. Can factor, but he needs to improve his figures a bit.
