Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (SET OFF) (7-2) - Lightly-raced 4-year-old finished a troubled third here at this claiming price going two-turns Dec 16. Nice effort came in his second start and he moves to the rail while racing with blinkers on for a 24% winning move by trainer Todd Pletcher.
2nd pick: #4 (Alaapatique) (3-1) - He's finished second in two of his last three and did so here at this tag going six furlongs Dec 16. It was his second start back off a 3 1/2 month layoff and gelding is a win candidate in today's finale.
3rd pick: #2 (Threes Are Wild) (12-1) - Long shot drops in class and will be racing on the dirt for the first time. He has some speed and the figures earned in his turf starts make him a threat if repeatable on the main track.
4th pick: #8 (Our Luck) (5-2) - Colt is the morning line favorite and is racing first off a Rudy Rodriguez claim (a 33% winning angle). Stretch runner is an obvious threat, but is no lock at a short price.
