Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (NEW ATLAS) (3-1) - The probable slight favorite, he rallied from well back to miss by just under a length racing here at this tag going a mile Dec. 28. Trainer Mark Casse brings him back quickly and has Irad Ortiz Jr. replacing Luca Panici. Colt looks set for a big effort, but make sure you box your exactas in this contest.
2nd pick: #9 (Stay On Base) (4-1) - He's taking a big drop in price and has shown good early speed in his first pair facing $50K foes here. Trainer Tony Sano has worked him twice since his latest (Dec. 29) and colt is a major player today.
3rd pick: #12 (Tenkoz) (6-1) - The trainer/jockey team of Dale Romans and leading rider Luis Saez have won with four horses here over the past week. All were maidens that were dropping in class, just like this $525K colt by Malibu Moon'.
4th pick: #5 (Bernini) (6-1) - Colt raced evenly after being bumped at the break when debuting here at this tag going 7 furlongs Jan. 10. Race was taken 'off the turf' and he's brought back quickly, is on the grass, and Javier Castellano is aboard. Factors today at a square price,
