Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (FASHIONABLY FAST) (2-1) - Hard hitter has won four in a row, the last pair coming in sprint stakes against fellow Cal breds like he meets today. Stalker should get a fast and/or contested pace to rally into an I give him a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Baja Sur) (3-1) - This speedball makes his So. California debut after going 6-5-1-0 on the No. Cal circuit and in Washington state. He's won 4 of 5 stakes and was just under a length behind 'Fashionably Fast' in a sprint stakes at Fresno Oct 5. He has the rail and is a serious win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Lieutenant Dan) (7-2) - 'Dan' has been freshened up since finishing a distant 3rd to 'Improbable' in a $100K one-mile stakes Aug 25 at Del Mar. He had won his previous pair when facing fellow Cal breds in sprints and both came in stakes. Training fast locally for his return, 4yo is a threat if ready.
4th pick: #3 (Oliver) (4-1) - Colt began to improve noticeably as the summer progressed and in his 2019 finale he was only a 1/2 length behind 'Fashionably Fast' in a 7 furlong stakes Nov 14 at Del Mar. In career-best form and this 4yo is capable of factoring.
