Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (ONE FOR MY BABY) (2-1) - Lightly-raced 4-year-old has been competitive in all three efforts at this meet since coming off a pair of layoffs Nov 14. Stalker is in the barn of leading trainer Bob Diodoro and Cal bred draws outside of the speed. Ready to win.
2nd pick: #2 (Storm Quest) (3-1) - Speedy sort drops to a new low in his third start since returning from a 10.5 month layoff Nov 14. He breaks just off the rail, has a fine recent work, and should be involved from gate-to-wire.
3rd pick: #5 (Hard Deputy) (9-2) - Well bred and lightly-raced, he's racing third of a 13 month layoff. He's tired in both starts facing tougher since returning to action and is taking a big drop n class.
4th pick: #4 (Secret Revealed) (7-2) - Another that's lightly-raced, 5-year-old defeated 'One for my Baby' by just over a length here Dec 6. However, in his follow up start Dec 17 he tired to finish a distant third as the favorite. Needs his best for anything more than a minor slice of this.
