Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (MR UNUSUAL) (5-1) - Price play takes a big drop while switching from grass to the dirt for this attempt. He tired badly here Jan. 1 in his first off a John Sadler claim and he has him well spotted with Joel Rosario aboard.
2nd pick: #7 (It'sthattime) (3-1) - He rallied from close range to finish second of eight, missing by a length Nov. 30 at Del Mar racing at this tag and trip. 3yo has worked four times since, retains Bejarano, and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Mahi Mahi) (7-2) - Speedy Tommy Town home bred is one of two entered by Jon Wong. A NEW gelding, he has early speed, draws the rail, and should be involved from gate-to-wire.
4th pick: #6 (Matson) (30-1) - Longshot stretches out after a slow break and even effort sprint at this tag Nov. 29 at Del Mar. He worked fast here Jan 5 and is capable of factoring late at a very big price.
