Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (CONDO PRINCE) (2-1) - Competitive colt moves to the grass and is trying a two-turn distance, both for the first time. He's finished 2nd in all three dirt attempts, is working fast, and is bred for turf success.
2nd pick: #6 (Adonis Creed) (6-1) - He tired after rushing up following a bumping incident when debuting at this level in a dirt sprint at Belmont Oct. 29th. He's worked fast since, is brought back quickly by trainer Kiaran McLaughlin (22% second time out), and Irad Ortiz, Jr. is back on the re-ride.
3rd pick: #1 (Coleman Rocky) (20-1) - Longshot has had serious problems at the break in both dirt sprints. He's well, bred and most by 'Harlan's Holiday' handle the grass. Grey colt has the rail and gets a big rider upgrade to Joel Rosario.
4th pick: #7 (Yoshida) (12-1) - Rare Japanese bred is one of two entered by trainer Bill Mott, and both are making their first starts. I like the work pattern, he's bred for the grass, and Jose Ortiz is signed on.
