Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (RIKKI TIKKI TAXI) (7-2) - One of several who are lightly raced and from good barns. Colt rallied to finish a close up third going six furlongs here at this level Oct 23. Only his second start, trainer Bret Calhoun brings him back in just under four weeks and is stretching him out in distance (a 23% winning move by the stable).
2nd pick: #10 (Expect Greatness) (4-1) - Another that's lightly raced, he missed by a 'nose' here at this tag and trip Oct 29. It was his first ever in a claimer and a repeat of it makes him a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Papasquiaro) (5-2) - Rare Mexican bred has raced evenly in both local starts facing tougher. Freshened up since Oct 9, he's worked well twice recently, drops in class, and breaks from the rail. The morning line favorite, and he's in the win mix.
4th pick: #2 (Cape Cat) (15-1) - Colt has shown little in a pair of grass sprints at Indiana Downs facing tougher. He's in the barn of Steve Asmussen, moves from turf to dirt, drops in class, and stretches out in distance. May do well at a big price.
