In the La Brea, the obvious favorites are the horses to beat: Unique Bella and Paradise Woods.
That said, I think Mopotism (#4)is going to win a G1 one of these days, and the price should be great ... maybe this is the time?
I also believe Castellano will outrun his odds on Marley's Freedom (#2) to maybe hit the exotics.

In the Malibu, I am not so sure the morning line favorites (favorable outcome and pavel) are best at this distance and surface, given the expected pace.
I prefer C Z Rocket among the shorter prices, and think maybe the extreme longshot Heartwood might run into the lower rungs of the exotics to spice up the prices.

Your thoughts?


Merry Christmas!!!
