Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (SEA OF LIBERTY) (5-2) - He's racing first off a John Sadler claim and is switching from dirt to turf while stretching out in distance. State bred missed by a 'neck' when debuting at this tag in a main track sprint Nov 16 at Del Mar and think he can win this.
2nd pick: #3 (Carbon Zero) (3-1) - He's one of two entered by trainer Keith Desormeaux and colt ships back from Golden Gate Fields where he was never involved facing tougher going a mile on the grass Jan 4. He had missed by a 'neck' here in his previous start and is a win candidate with a repeat of that effort.
3rd pick: #4 (Diamond Blitz) (12-1) - The other from the Desormeaux barn, he showed fine early speed before weakening in the final furlong here Jan 1 racing at this level and distance. Back on a quick turnaround, he's dangerous at a square price.
4th pick: #8 (Indy Jones) (8-1) - Even paced type finished 4.5 lengths in back of 'Carbon Zero' Nov 25, then was a length better than 'Diamond Blitz' on Jan 1. He was wide in the former, had some traffic issues in the latter, and may factor at a big price.
