Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (NEXT RIGHT) (3-1) - He enters off an impressive win here November 9. Racing first off a Tony Pecoraro claim and a subsequent seven-week freshening, he broke running and cruised home to a 15-length wire-to-wire score. Barn doubles him up in price, and speedy 5yo has the rail. Anything approaching his latest takes another.
2nd pick: #8 (Blue Y Gold) (5-2) - The morning line favorite, he rallied to finish 2nd here at this level going six-furlongs Oct. 11th. Well bred grey gelding is from a good barn (Rick Vega) and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (England) (4-1) - On the sidelines since late December, he was a winner here that day at this tag going a mile. Stalker has won sprinting in the past and this 4yo is a major threat if ready.
4th pick: #7 (War of Honor) (8-1) - He's racing first off a Mario Serey, Jr. claim and is cutting back to a sprint after a series of five straight longer attempts. He'll be coming off the pace in this field, and the faster the pace the better his chances.
