Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (GRAMMI DANCE) (7-2) - He's been freshened up since Oct. 14 when he missed by just under a length at this level and distance at Belmont Park. This gelding by 'Twirling Candy' runs off a private trainer change to Michelle Nevin and he gets top billing in his spot.
2nd pick: #9 (Trance) (9-2) - Heavily bet in all three starts, he was eased last out when he lost contact with the field going a mile here Nov. 10. $60,000 purchase had run much better in his first pair and is dropping into a claimer for the first time, a 23% winning move by trainer Brad Cox.
3rd pick: #3 (Get Along) (4-1) - He raced wide and evenly when finishing just over two lengths behind 'Grammi Dance' when debuting Oct. 14 at Belmont. He's worked five times since for trainer Steve Asmussen (18% second time out) and Irad Ortiz Jr is back on the re-ride.
4th pick: #6 (Mend Up) (12-1) - Lasix is added to longshot who has had wide trips in both starts facing tougher. Home bred has a pair of solid works heading into this attempt and may be competitive at a very big price.
