Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (GRAND NENE) (4-1) - Very consistent colt has gone 9-2-5-0 since late February when trainer Jose Garafolo added blinkers. All of those starts were local and he's finished second in all three starts at this distance. Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #3 (Ranger in Paradise) (6-5) - The morning line and probable heavy favorite, he's won four in a row. Freshened up since Nov. 4, he was claimed that afternoon for this $30,000 price tag by trainer Liz Dobles. Speed/stalker worked fast at Palm Meadows Dec. 15 and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Call to Honor) (6-1) - Stakes placed facing fellow Florida bred 3-year-olds he stretching out in distance and moving up in class in his second back from a 7-week freshening. One-run type draws a ground-saving post and should get a fast and/or contested pace to close.
4th pick: #6 (Dunkirk's Boy) (5-1) - He's won two in a row and will be moving up in class and stretching out a furlong. He enters off a win here going six furlongs facing weaker Nov. 16 that earned him a career best figure.
