Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (MIGGSY) (8-5) - One of two entered by Rudy Rodriguez and the pair gives him a very strong hand in this maiden contest. This son of 'Hard Spun' cost $330,000 in Sep of 2015 and colt finished a pace-chasing second when debuting at this level and distance Nov 19. He's worked three times since and Rodriguez has been on a tremendous roll on the inner surface (15 for 39 {38%}).
2nd pick: #3 (Condo Prince) (2-1) - The second of the Rodriguez pair, he showed nothing here in his first start on the grass Nov 19. However, colt had finished second in his first three sprinting on the dirt and moves back to the main track with blinkers added. An obvious threat.
3rd pick: #7 (Mineralogy) (10-1) - Debuting gelding sold for $80K this past May as a 2yo in training. He worked a bullet three furlongs from the gate Dec 14 at Belmont and trainer Michelle Nevin is having a god meet 15-3-2-3. Can factor, but he needs to be a runner to handle the top two selections.
