Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (UNCONQUERED LEA) (3-1) - Well backed when debuting here Dec 21 after some fast works, he set a quick pace and held gamely under pressure to finish 3rd of 10, beaten 2 lengths. Colt has had another pair of very sharp works and is stretching out a furlong for this attempt.
2nd pick: #3 (Express Pharoah) (15-1) - Longshot has been on the sidelines since early October when he tired while wide going a mile. Working very fast for his return, son of 'American Pharoah' has a new trainer, Alexis Delgado who is having a strong meet 19-4-3-4. Blinkers are removed and this colt can impact at a big price if he runs to his a.m. drills.
3rd pick: #10 (Market Analysis) (7-2) - A debuting colt by 'Honor Code', he sold for $250K as a yearling back in Sep of 2018 at Keeneland. In the barn of Todd Pletcher, 23% first time out, he's worked him a half-dozen times since Dec 15 at the Palm Beach Downs Center.
4th pick: #11 (Precise Dancer) (8-1) - Another making his first start, he's one of two entered by Jorge Navarro and the pair race uncoupled. Colt by 'Verrazano' has some fines works on view at the Pal Meadows Center and has leading rider Irad Ortiz Jr. aboard.
