Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (HIT THE SEAM) (7-2) - Very fast from the gate, he's moving back in with fellow state breds after tiring against 'open' company Dec. 1 at Del Mar. Reddam home bred missed by a neck there at this level Cal breds Nov. 16, and I give this 5yo a slight edge.
2nd pick: #2 (Foster Boi) (2-1) - A NEW gelding, this lightly raced 4yo has been on the sidelines since June 1 when he raced evenly when beaten four lengths at this level here going a mile. The favorite in all four attempts, he's working fast and broke his maiden first out going 6.5 furlongs on the local turf March 1.
3rd pick: #8 (Rinse and Repeat) (12-1) - Longshot goes dirt to turf after rallying to check in 3rd at this level and distance on the Los Alamitos dirt Dec. 14. Even paced type was racing for the first time since Aug. 24 and is capable of factoring on the grass at a big price.
4th pick: #1 (General Interest) (3-1) - A very lightly raced 5yo, he ships back from Golden Gate Fields where he was a non-factor going a mile on the all weather surface Nov. 28. No speed type is best on the grass, and it's noted hat Joel Rosario is taking the mount.
