Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (FULLY VESTED) (2-1) - Godolphin runner isn't nearly as experienced on the grass as his rivals, but has gone 3-1-1-1 on it to date. He earned a big figure last out when finishing 3rd in a $150K stakes going 6 furlongs at Belmont and I like his chances.
2nd pick: #1 (Gidu) (8-5) - Irish bred is clearly the main speed and he breaks from the rail. From the Pletcher barn, 4yo is cutting back in distance after tiring going a mile here Nov. 9. He's proven tough in the past when getting an uncontested early lead and that's the case today. A win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Lonhtwist) (8-1) - Colt has won two in a row at this trip facing weaker and will be making his stakes debut this afternoon. Stalker has earned figures in that pair that would make him a late threat if repeatable against this tougher group.
4th pick: #6 (Dubini) (7-2) - Consistent turf sprinter is making his third straight appearance in this sprint stakes. Strong finished ran second in 2017, then was beaten 3 lengths in it last year. 6yo has gone 4-1-2-1 since coming off a pair of layoffs in mid-August and will be closing fast.
