Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (CURLY'S ROCKET) (2-1) - One of two entered by Bob Baffert, this colt missed by a 'nose' to his highly thought of barn-mate 'Nero' here going 5.5 furlongs Jan 13. He's worked twice since, has the rail, and will be tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #6 (Core Beliefs) (9-5) - He recovered after a poor break to finish fast and was less than a length in back of 'Curly's Rocket' here when debuting Jan 13. Trainer Pete Eurton brings him back quickly and is adding lasix to this win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Once On Whiskey) (7-2) - The 2nd of the Baffert pair, he's a debuting colt by 'Bodemeister'. Working fast at Los Alamitos, he's breezed here twice since shipping to Santa Anita. Barn wins at a 30% rate first out and this 3yo can factor if ready.
4th pick: #3 (Eskimo Roses) (5-1) - Speedy gelding has been competitive in 4 of his 5 starts and is moving from grass to dirt. In shape and he'll take them as far as he can.
