Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (SOUNION) (7-2) - He's improved in each start and runs today after breaking his maiden by 1.5 lengths going a one-turn mile on a sloppy surface at Churchill Downs Nov 30. Grey son of 'Liam's Map' sold for $360K as a yearling, has some impressive works at Palm Meadows, and I give him a slight edge.
2nd pick: #8 (Moon Over Miami) (5-2) - The morning line and probable favorite, he ships from Aqueduct where he won by 5 lengths going a mile Dec 7 in his 2nd start. Son of 'Malibu Moon' worked very fast at Payson Park Dec 31 and this colt may have a very bright future. A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Ny Traffic) (6-1) - New York bred has been freshened since Nov 17 and is working fast locally as he runs off a private trainer change to Saffie Joseph Jr, 32 for 100 (32%) with new arrivals since Jan 1 of 2019.
