Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (EXTREME HEAT) (2-1) - Speedy 4yo is dropping to a new low while racing here for the first time. Competitive facing tougher in the past, he'll be hard to catch with an alert beginning in this abbreviated (5 furlong) sprint.
2nd pick: #1 (Wit and Wisdom) (9-2) - He ships from Golden Gate Fields where 4yo has been sharp in four straight racing on the Tapeta surface there. Gelding has the rail, drops 6 lbs with apprentice Figueroa aboard, and is dangerous if he can transfer his form to conventional dirt.
3rd pick: #3 (Tap Tap Boom) (12-1) - Longshot broke his maiden in a dirt sprint at Fresno Oct. 6. Colt tired badly for twice this tag Nov. 17 at Del Mar in his first facing winners and is dropping down for this attempt. Think he's capable of factoring at a big price.
