Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (UPDRAFT) (4-1) - Godolphin home bred has early speed and is taking a big drop in class for this attempt. His best ever in six outings came here in December of 2014. Five-year-old meets a weak group and can break his maiden on the class reduction.
2nd pick: #6 (Charlie's Wisdom) (6-1) - Long time maiden has a stalking style and enters off a series of good efforts racing on both dirt and synthetic surfaces. He finished second here going a mile on the main track Dec 31 and it's nice to see Javier Castellano back on the re-ride.
3rd pick: #10 (Panama Will) (5-1) - Lightly-raced 6-year-old finished second here at this level Dec 23. It was his second start back following almost a 13 month layoff and was his first ever on the grass. He's worked since and he must be considered a win candidate in this spot.
4th pick: #1 (Spanish Armada) (10-1) - Even-paced type tired to finish a distant third here at this tag Dec 6 in a contest that was switched to the dirt. He's been competitive on the grass facing tougher in the past and draws a ground saving post. Must be left in the mix.
