Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (AMODEI) (8-5) - Speedy gelding drops into a claimer for the first time. That's a 28% winning angle from trainer Doug O'Neill and this home bred holds both a big class and figure edge over this small group.
2nd pick: #4 (Cupid's Beau) (5-1) - Another dropping into a claimer, he also moves from grass to dirt and shortens up in distance. Tommy Town home bred has blinkers on and should factor with all the changes.
3rd pick: #1 (Lofty Cause) (2-1) - She was a 'winner' at this level and distance Nov. 6 at Santa Anita but was disqualified for causing some serious crowding right out of the gate. The lone filly entered, she has the rail early speed, and should be involved turning for home. From that point on she needs to do a bit better.
