Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (MOUNTAIN HERO) (3-1) - The morning line favorite, he enters off a 2nd place finish at this level going 5 1/2 furlongs at Del Mar Nov. 22nd. He set a quick and pressured pace before weakening in the final furlong. Beaten by 3 1/2 lengths, he was 7 1/2 clear of the show horse.
2nd pick: #8 (Uluckydevil) (6-1) - Improving with each start, he rallied to finish a close up 4th at this tag going 51/2 furlongs at Los Alamitos Dec. 17th. He should love the added distance he runs at this afternoon.
3rd pick: #10 (Two Ten) (12-1) - Longshot raced evenly following a slow break when debuting here Oct. 24th. Grey colt is working fast and draws a nice outside post for this trip. Price play.
4th pick: #6 (Silver Chrome) (20-1) - Big longshot has a bit of speed and is dropping down in class for his second back from almost a 4 1/2 month layoff. Working above average, and this grey gelding took some betting action in both starts facing tougher.
