Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (DR VINCENTSTEIN) (2-1) - Santa Anita invader is nicely spotted, and speedster is shortening up in distance for his local debut. In shape, he worked here Oct. 22nd, and has veteran Scott Stevens aboard. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #4 (Many Routes) (5-2) - Consistent sort has been on the sidelines since late March. He was competitive in four straight back then facing winners on the Golden Gate 'poly.' Speed/stalker is racing first off a Jared Brown claim (26%) and is training fine here for his first start ever on conventional dirt. A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Money Tree) (3-1) - He's had a very busy year (17-1-7-3), will be going turf to dirt, and shortening up in distance. Stretch runner raced evenly when finishing 4th last out at this level on the grass. He has a solid record on real dirt (13-1-6-1) and has a recency edge on 'Many Routes.'
