Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (ROYAL SAINT) (5-2) - Colt drops in class following a pair of even efforts facing tougher. Trainer Dave Donk drops him well under the price he claimed him for and this 4-year-old by 'Candy Ride' can take this with his best.
2nd pick: #5 (Roman Revival) (5-1) - Gelding takes a big drop in class after tiring badly Nov. 26 facing high-end starter-allowance foes. It was his first off a Dave Giglio claim and this speedy 4-year-old did not break cleanly. Fits at this level and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Marble Falls) (8-1) - Originally part of an entry, trainer Oscar Barrera III has this longshot going it alone. Stalker moves up in class in his first of a claim and has a shot at a square price.
4th pick: #8 (Bustin the Bank) (12-1) - Longshot drops a bit of a series of poor efforts. His outside post is a plus against this group and he may grab a share at a very big price.
