Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (ALYCAR FLASH) (2-1) - Lightly-raced gelding just missed here at this level going six furlongs Dec 30. He broke running, set a solid pace and was caught in the last few strides. Trainer Pete Walder brings him back quickly and shortens up a 1/16th of a mile.
2nd pick: #7 (El Maxi) (8-1) - He's another with some early speed. He chased and tired from an outside post on a sloppy track here at this tag Jan 10. Heavily bet that day, he was hurt by racing wide on a day when the inside was the place to be. Factors today at a square price.
3rd pick: #8 (Kylie's Kid) (5-1) - Tampa Bay shipper is racing second back from a five month layoff and has several changes. He has a new trainer (Kate O'Connell) and she drops him way down in class while adding Lasix. If he has any talent it will come out against this group.
