Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #11 (IDEAL QUALITY) (3-1) - He's dropping in class and is racing with blinkers off. Well bred 5-year-old has raced evenly in his last pair following a claim by Danny Dargan. He has ability and gets a slight edge on the class drop.

2nd pick: #10 (Greyjoy) (3-1) - Lightly-raced grey gelding is racing first off a claim. Four-year-old finished second at this tag going 8.5-furlongs the day he changed barns (Dec 16). New trainer (Andy Lakeman) has worked him since and is cutting him back in distance.

3rd pick: #7 (Park Ranger) (5-2) - The morning line favorite, he's racing first off a Dave Jacobson claim. Well bred 4-year-old finished third here for a $30K tag Dec 13. Four-year-old cost $310K as a yearling and has been a major bust. However, at this reduced level he's a win candidate.

4th pick: #6 (Gunlock) (6-1) - Grey gelding enters off a pair of even fourth-place finishes going longer. He was 7 1/2 length behind 'Greyjoy' last out but did bobble at the break. Interesting that leading rider Irad Ortiz Jr. is getting aboard.
