Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (FLOWER BEACH) (8-5) - The probable favorite, gelding missed by just under a length when racing here at this level and distance Nov 7. Stalker was making his local debut and he's worked fast since. Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #8 (Lend Me the Lute) (5-2) - From the Diodoro barn, he's stretching out in distance and trying the turf, both for the first time. Well bred colt has shown good early speed in both dirt sprints and is a threat on the lead.
3rd pick: #9 (Groot) (3-1) - Experienced gelding raced evenly in his local and turf debut Nov 7. He was five lengths behind 'Flower Beach' that afternoon and needs to do better for anything more than a minor award.
