Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (POWER CRAZED) (4-1) - He's racing back into shape after coming off almost an eight week break in late summer. Speed/stalker finished a pace-setting second here at this level Dec 9 and he breaks from the rail. Gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #6 (Saltine Warrior) (8-1) - Long shot is dropping in class and stretching out in distance. Gelding ran evenly in a sprint for a $50K tag Dec 4. Six-year-old lost all chance at the break when he was bumped and pinched. Think he's a threat at a square price.

3rd pick: #4 (Wizardly) (7-2) - Strong finisher has been sharp in four straight starts. He rallied to be beaten less than a length here facing tougher in his local debut Dec11. An obvious contender.

4th pick: #8 (Jai Alai) (12-1) - Another long shot, he has early speed and has been lightly raced. Four-year-old moves up in class after an easy wire-to-wire score here Dec 20. Claimed that day by Randi Persaud, he brings him back quickly while moving him up.
