Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (PRINCE VALIANT) (2-1) - Lightly raced colt has a speed/stalking style, and last out at Del Mar, Nov. 13th, he finished 2nd of seven, beaten a length racing at this level and distance. He earned a career best 'figure' and has worked four times here since. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #1 (The Custodian) (5-2) - No speed type rallied to finish a distant 2nd Nov. 13th at Del Mar racing for a $25K tag at the 2l condition. His lone win came here and he's been working well locally for this attempt.
3rd pick: #6 (Inexcess Time) (7-2) - One run type had some traffic issues last out when finishing 4 1/2 lengths behind 'Prince Valiant.' He had just missed in his previous race here at this level and distance Oct. 18th. Must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #2 (Garrapata Beach) (5-1) - He's been on the sidelines since breaking his maiden here Oct. 18th. He has early speed, and the 'figure' earned in his win fits here if repeatable. Lightly raced, 3yo has room for up-side.
