Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (BANKER'S HOLIDAY) (6-5) - Lightly raced, he was only beaten a length last out facing a much tougher field. Son of 'Harlan's Holiday' cost $250,000 and seems on the verge of his maiden win.
2nd pick: #4 (Chomsky) (4-1) - The probable main speed, he's been freshened up since Nov. 4th. 4yo has finished close up a number of times at this level and should be involved from start-to-finish. The lack of much other pace helps his chances out.
3rd pick: #7 (Mister Monolo) (6-1) - Grey colt is one of two entered by trainer Leah Gyarmati, and he's the one with more ability. He's moving up in class after finishing 2nd for a $40K tag No5. Nice effort came off a 5 1/2 month layoff.
4th pick: #1 (Tiz Time to Shake) (15-1) - Longshot has the rail and is switching from turf to dirt. He fits with his best figures, but believe a small slice at a big price is his ceiling.
