Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (SECRET PATH) (4-1) - He's been competitive in four straight and cuts back in distance after finishing third here at this price tag going 8.5 furlongs Nov. 17. Two of those efforts came at 6.5 furlongs, so today's 7 furlong distance is not a problem. He gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Bokerim) (7-2) - Gelding made a strong wide bid before tiring late to check in 6th of 10, beaten 6.5 lengths here Nov. 3 traveling 8.5 furlongs at this $40K claiming price. He moves to a ground saving post, cuts back in distance, and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Mayan Ghost) (8-5) - The morning line and probable favorite, he rallied strongly yo miss by a 1/2 length going 6 furlongs at this level Oct. 6. A career best, it was his first race since June 23 and he received a very fast and contested pace to close into. An obvious win threat at a short price.
