Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (GOT EVEN) (9-2) - He lost a heartbreaker here at this level and distance Oct 3. He set a fast and pressured pace only to lose by a 'nose' in the final two strides. In shape, he's worked well since, and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #11 (Chief of Staff) (7-2) - Lightly-raced, he was only a 'head' behind 'Got Even' last out after having a wide trip. He draws another tough outside post, but has enough tactical speed to stay close up throughout.
3rd pick: #6 (China Girl Lover) (4-1) - Gelding was an impressive winner Sept 24 at Los Alamitos in his first back off a pair of layoffs. Working well, fits on figures and he has a flexible style.
4th pick: #9 (Dream Police) (9-2) - Much improved lately, he finished 2nd at this level & distance Sep 19 at Los Alamitos. In career best shape, speed/stalker must be left in the mix.
5th pick: #5 (You Know I Know) (8-1) - No speed type should get a fast and/or contested pace to rally into. He may pass enough to grab a minor award at a square price.
