Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (MASOCHISTIC) (6-5) - The probable favorite, speedster races for the first time since May 6 when he tired badly going 7 furlongs in the Churchill Downs Sprint Stakes (G2). He runs off a private trainer change to Bob Baffert and is working very fast here for his return. Takes this if ready.
2nd pick: #5 (Tough Sunday) (4-1) - He's been razor sharp in both starts since coming off a 10.5 month layoff Nov. 16. Stalker has a fine local record 8-2-1-3 and he draws outside of the speed types.
3rd pick: #1 (Edwards Going Left) (5-2) - He's moving back in with state bred after finishing second here going 7 furlongs in the Malibu Stakes (G1) facing 'open' company Dec. 26. He's 4-for-7 here, has the rail, and always tries hard.
4th pick: #4 (Solid Wager) (10-1) - He has no early speed and that will likely limit him to a minor award at a square price.
