Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (TEST RIDE) (7-5) - One of two entered by leading trainer Bob Diodoro and the pair race uncoupled. They give him almost an unbeatable hand in this turf contest. This grey gelding is dropping in class after missing by a 'nose' here in an entry-level allowance Oct 26. It was his first local start and first for Diodoro after coming from the So. California circuit.
2nd pick: #4 (Borealis Breeze) (8-5) - The second of the Diodoro pair, speedy gelding is working fast locally for his first sine late August at Golden Gate Fields. He's gone 7-2-1-1 on the grass and has veteran Scott Stevens aboard. The likely winner if 'Test Ride' scratches.
3rd pick: #2 (Walk Free) (12-1) - Lightly-raced three-year-old raced evenly without threatening facing tougher here Oct 26. He was 12 1/2 lengths behind 'Test Ride' in what was his first start since April 8. May grab a minor award at a square price.
4th pick: #1 (Paradise High) (8-1) - Even-paced type tries almost every time and enters off a distant third-place finish here at this level Nov 3. It was his first since May 1 and he should be 'fitter' for this attempt. Just like 'Walk Free,' a small slice is his ceiling.
