Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (BOSQUE ANGEL) (3-1) - He did not break as sharply as normal last out and had to rally from well back to finish 3rd. Cal bred gelding has much more early speed in his arsenal and can take this abbreviated sprint with an alert beginning.
2nd pick: #5 (Captain Theo) (5-1) - Old timer has won eight times overall with five coming at this distance. He's racing second back off a two-month break and stretching back out in distance. Fast enough to defeat quarter-horses in the past, his local record facing thoroughbreds is 6-2-1-1. 8yo should be in this from start-to-finish.
3rd pick: #2 (Tiu) (4-1) - He looked sharp when rallying strongly to win here at this tag Nov. 23rd. It was his first since 2014, and this once classier type must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #6 (Wildcat Party) (6-1) - Speedy sort set a fast pace and held to finish 3rd, beaten less than a length here at this level Oct. 31st. It was his first back off a 2 1/2 month break. Last out he tired while very wide after breaking from a tough post (10th of 10). Can factor today at a square price.
