Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (DABSTER) (5-2) - Sold for $1,000,000 last March, he won his debut here going seven furlongs Dec. 26, but was disqualified and placed 4th. He's worked fast twice since, is brought back quickly, and trainer Bob Baffert stretches him out a bit.
2nd pick: #4 (Surfside Sunset) (7-2) - Colt stretches out after checking in a wide and even 4th when debuting Dec. 3 at Del Mar going six furlongs. He faced a solid group that day and has worked three times since.
3rd pick: #5 (Stone Hands) (12-1) - Longshot showed nothing when switched to the grass here Jan. 1. Colt had been competitive in two of three on the dirt prior to that, and he may factor at a big price.
4th pick: #9 (Seau) (8-1) - He's raced competitively in all four starts and finished 3rd at this level and distance Nov. 27 at Del Mar. Well bred and expensive, he can factor if able to avoid a wide trip.
5th pick: #7 (Troublewitatee) (10-1) - Stalker tired late when finishing 4th, less than a length in back of 'Seau' Nov. 27 at Del Mar. Longshot has been competitive in three straight at this distance and can grab a share at a big price.
