Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (STORM COMIN THRU) (5-2) - He's finished 2nd in two straight at this level, and he's back in his best form at this juncture. One run type has the rail, Bejarano back on the re-ride, and the long stretch here is made for this 4yo.
2nd pick: #3 (Toledo Eddie) (6-1) - Nine-time winner ran evenly Nov. 28th at Del Mar while finishing 4th, six lengths behind 'Storm Comin Thru.' He's slipped as he nears his seventh birthday, but has been competitive many times in the past facing tougher. He's won eight of 17 on conventional dirt and is a threat with his best.
3rd pick: #4 (City State) (8-1) - Speedy sort tired after 'bobbling' at the break in the same last race as 'Storm Comin Thru' and 'Toledo Eddie.' In shape, and this 5yo will take them as far as he can.
4th pick: #6 (Benba) (12-1) - He's still eligible for easier conditions, but is a steady performer and is capable of getting a small slice at a big price.
