Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (SUPER CLEAR) (5-1) - Lightly raced gelding rallied to finish second going a mile Nov. 16 at Churchill Downs. It was his first back from a 70-day freshening and his best to date. Home bred by 'Super Saver' gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #2 (Soulmate) (2-1) - Debuting gelding is from the barn of Wesley Ward (30% first out). The runaway winner of the trainer's race here last winter, Ward is already 5-for-14 (36%) at this young meet. An obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Let It Go Indigo) (6-1) - He finished a pace-setting second, beaten only a 'neck' Nov. 16 at Churchill Downs. He was 2.5 lengths in front of 'Super Clear' that afternoon and is in the three horse win mix.
4th pick: #3 (Fake Solution) (7-2) - Colt had a troubled trip as the heavy 2-5 favorite when finishing behind both 'Soulmate' and 'Super Saver' Nov 16 at Churchill Downs. He races off a negative trainer change following a claim but must be left in the same race exotic bets.
