Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (FORWARD MOTION) (2-1) - Lightly-raced grey gelding has been on the sidelines since the fall when he was competitive here in both starts.one each on dirt and turf. He rallied to finish third when debuting at this level and distance Nov. 30 and can win this if ready.
2nd pick: #3 (Lem Me Tel Ya) (3-1) - Colt finished second when debuting here at this level and distance Nov. 30. He was a length in front of 'Forward Motion' that afternoon and has raced evenly in a pair of one mile races on the dirt this year. Back on the grass today and Javier Castellano who rode him first out is back aboard. A win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Pequeno Grande) (8-1) - He moves up in class and back to the grass for this attempt. Colt raced evenly in both grass sprints last fall and had serious problems when finishing behind both 'Forward Motion' and 'Lem Me Tel Ya' Nov. 30. He has the rail and gets a huge rider upgrade to Irad Ortiz Jr.
4th pick: #9 (English Channical) (15-1) - NEW gelding tired last out on Nov. 30 in the same contest as the top three selections in this race. He has early speed, a fine outside post to use it from, and may get a slice at a very big price.
