Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (UNINVITED) (5-2) - He's had a lot of chances (13), but has finished 2nd in five of his last six starts. All have been at this level going two-turns on the dirt, and his local record stands at 6-0-3-2. Freshened up since Dec. 15, trainer Bob Baffert has him working fast locally.
2nd pick: #4 (Hollywood Strike) (3-1) - Well bred colt is improving and enters off his best so far. Racing here at this level going a mile Feb. 12, he set a solid pace and held gamely to miss by a 'neck.' It was his first start since Nov. 25 when he was only a 'nose' in back of 'Uninvited' at Del Mar. Son of 'Smart Strike' should be involved every step.
3rd pick: #1 (Seau) (6-1) - Price play has been racing evenly at this level in his last pair. Working fast, he draws the rail, stretches out in distance, and has his blinkers removed.
4th pick: #5 (Adorned) (7-2) - $220,000 son of 'Uncle Mo' stretches out after rallying to miss by a 'head' when debuting in a Del Mar sprint Nov. 19. Dangerous if ready.
