Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (MACK'S CHAMP) (4-1) - Speedy and lightly raced 4-year-old set a pressured pace and held to finish second here at this level and distance Dec. 16. It was his second back following a pair of layoffs and he'll be tough from his inside post while on the lead.
2nd pick: #9 (Lord Arthur) (2-1) - The probable favorite, stalker has gone 4-1-2-1 in his starts at this $5,000 price tag. Sharp in three straight here at this trip, 4-year-old is an obvious win candidate and I could have easily made him the top selection.
3rd pick: #2 (Aztec Delite) (7-2) - Competitive in three straight here at this tag and trip, 4-year-old was only a neck' in back of 'Mack's Champ' last out (Dec. 16). In career best form, stalker is dangerous in this spot.
