Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (MR GAME SEVEN) (5-2) - Thought he received a very poor ride last out at Los Alamitos. Apprentice Kennedy had him wide and in traffic through-out and colt was still only beaten three lengths. It was his first start in six months and first in blinkers. Trainer Doug O'Neill stretches him out in distance and has Sal Gonzalez aboard. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Little Mustard) (3-1) - Gelding finished third in his first three starts, then raced evenly last out after a poor start. He's racing 3rd back off a two month break and is trying a two-turn distance in this spot.
3rd pick: #5 (Diner At Trani's) (5-1) - Gelding finished a distant second in a small field (six) racing at this tag and trip Dec 20 at Los Alamitos. A career best and at least you know that he can handle the mile distance. He's worked twice since and must be left in the mix.
