Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (ESKIMO ROSES) (7-2) - The main speed of those that have run, gelding is shortening up in distance, and runs with blinkers off for the first time. He finished 2nd here at this distance Oct. 19, then tired going a mile at Del Mar Nov. 24. He gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Jungle Warfare) (3-1) - $300,000 colt by 'Animal Kingdom' has been competitive in all six starts. He's cutting back in distance following a pair of solid efforts going a mile, and is an obvious win candidate here.
3rd pick: #3 (Liberal Lunacy) (10-1) - Longshot raced both wide and evenly here at this distance Oct. 19. $360K son of 'The Factor' was 4.5 lengths behind 'Eskimo Roses' that afternoon and has some good works showing for this attempt.
4th pick: #6 (Colosi) (12-1) - He's been freshened up for the past two months and is trying the grass for the first time. Gelding by 'City Zip' has shown early speed before tiring in a pair of dirt sprints and has been working well above average here for this assignment.
5th pick: #8 (Rockaway) (20-1) - Irish bred has broken slowly in three of his first five, but has shown some improvement in his most recent pair. May grab a share at a big price with a late rally.
