Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (HEAR THE FOOTSTEPS) (7-2) - He's moving from turf to dirt and is dropping down in class. Trainer Dave Jacobson has a division here for the first time and has this 9-year-old dropping to a new low in class. The horse to beat.
2nd pick: #2 (Alpine Luck) (5-1) - Another that's dropping down, speedy sort raced competitively here facing tougher Dec 27. Gelding should be involved from start-to-finish at a square price.
3rd pick: #8 (Ferocious) (8-1) - He's racing second off a Vann Belvoir claim and is dropping down a bit. Lightly-raced 5-year-old raced wide here Dec 27 and is back on short notice at his favorite distance.
4th pick: #7 (Hadfunlastnight) (3-1) - Once classier veteran has early speed and is racing third back off a long layoff and first off a claim. He should be competitive against this group.
