Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (HANGRY) (8-5) - Strong finisher drops in class and moves from grass to dirt in his second back from a nine month layoff. He raced both wide and evenly in his return Nov. 23 in what had the look of a conditioning run. He's run well on the inner surface in the past and looks set.
2nd pick: #6 (Foggy Mountain Cat) (2-1) - The only real danger, speedy colt takes the same drop as 'Hangry' and also moves from grass to dirt. He's the main speed and is a solid win candidate in today's finale.
3rd pick: #1 (Schout Bay) (6-1) - He rallied while wide to check in 3.5 lengths behind 'Foggy Mountain Cat' last out on the grass. Working well since, longshot has the best chance of knocking off the top pair.
4th pick: #2 (Red Hook Express) (7-2) - Even-paced type stretches out in distance after a good effort at this level going 6.5 furlongs Nov. 18. He has a bit of ability and is capable of getting a share of this.
