Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (OLD SCHOOL IKE) (8-5) - The probable favorite, grey gelding missed by a 1/2 length after setting the pace here at this tag and trip Jan. 14. By far a career best, he's worked twice since and will be tough to beat with anything near his latest.
2nd pick: #5 (Dos Palos) (6-1) - Home bred finished a strong 3rd at this tag and trip at Los Alamitos Dec. 16. However, in his follow up here Jan. 14, he checked in far behind 'Old School Ike' without any apparent excuse. Can factor with his 'A' game.
3rd pick: #1 (Starship Chewy) (10-1) - Longshot raced extremely wide when far behind 'Old School Ike' here Jan. 14. It was his first since the fall when he was competitive in a pair at this tag and trip. 3yo moves to a ground saving post and can get a piece of this at a big price.
4th pick: #3 (Nine Issues) (20-1) - He was never involved while wide at this tag sprinting in his debut here Jan. 15. 3yo has worked twice since and is stretching out in distance.
