Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (GIDU) (3-1) - Irish bred has been on the sidelines since finishing second when debuting at Saratoga August 14. By the world class 'Frankel', he's been training both steadily and above average for his return. In the Pletcher barn, grey colt can win this if ready.
2nd pick: #5 (Da Da Da Dude) (9-2) - Speedy colt is working very fast at Palm Beach Downs for his first race since July 2. Home bred by grass champ 'Artie Schiller' missed by a 'neck' at Laurel when last in action and enters off a bullet half-mile breeze in :45.40 Dec 10.
3rd pick: #6 (Grandma's Favorite) (7-2) - He finished an even third when debuting on Belmont Park grass going 6 furlongs Oct. 25. Working fast since for trainer Wesley Ward (26% second time out), colt has a recency edge on both 'Gidu' and 'Da Da Da Dude'.
4th pick: #1 (To the Hilt) (5-1) - $100K purchase set the pace and held gamely to miss by a 'neck' at this level and distance Nov. 19. It was his first start in almost three months and first on the turf. He has the rail and must be left in the mix.
