Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (MOONLIGHT BLUE) (3-1) - Competitive sort has finished close up in four straight here and was a winner at this tag Nov 22. Veteran was just under a length in back of today's rival 'Candy's Martini' Dec 5 and I give this stalker a small edge.
2nd pick: #3 (Candy's Martini) (2-1) - He rallied to win here Dec 5 while almost a length in front of 'Moonlight Blue' that afternoon. 6yo has a fine local record 29-7-3-5 and is at his best distance 18-5-2-3. An obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Aztec Warrior) (4-1) - The main speed, he tired late to finish 4th 2.5 lengths in back of 'Moonlight Blue' here Dec 28. He has a stalking gear and his outside post will give rider Herrera some early option. 7yo must be left in the mix.
