Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (BEDEVILED) (7-2) - Colt is switching from grass to dirt in this 'off the turf' contest. Strong finisher has been competitive in five straight on the infield and can beat these if he can bring his grass form with him.
2nd pick: #3 (Papou) (4-1) - Grey gelding enters off a 3rd place finish at this level and distance Dec. 15 at Los Alamitos. It matched his career best figure, and $400K purchase has been working fast since.
3rd pick: #2 (Heat) (9-2) - Another with good grass form that is switching to the dirt. Capable of contending on the dirt, he has more positional speed than most.
4th pick: #10 (Wise Curlin) (6-1) - Very lightly raced colt is racing off almost an eight-week break. 4yo is switching to the dirt and is stretching out in distance. Working above average, trainer Pete Eurton adds blinkers.
