Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (DREAMING OF JO JO) (7-2) - This speedy colt is dropping down to a new low, goes grass to dirt, and is shortening up in distance. Home bred by 'Malibu Moon' has the best early speed and should break his maiden in this spot.
2nd pick: #1 (Attorney Al) (8-1) - He lost all chance when he made a left hand turn at the break here in a grass sprint Dec. 20. Only his second start, it was his first in 4.5 months, and first for trainer George Navarro. He has the rail here, and expect this grey colt to be involved every step with an alert beginning.
3rd pick: #7 (Octopythius) (5-1) - One of three making their debuts, He's from a good first out barn (Ed Kenneally, 16%), and this gelding worked a bullet three furlongs at the Palm Meadows center Dec. 21. It's noted that the second leading rider at this meet (Tyler Gafflione) is aboard.
4th pick: #5 (K K's Revolver) (20-1) - Longshot is not a win candidate, but may pass enough late to grab a share at a very big price.
