Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (LAW ABIDIN CITIZEN) (7-2) - Stalker enters off a close up third place finish here at this level going 7 furlongs Dec 26. Given almost 5-weeks of rest, $100K purchase is working well and draws a good outside post for this trip.
2nd pick: #5 (Eleutheros) (3-1) - Stonestreet home bred has early speed and finish just under a lengths in front of 'Law Abidin Citizen' here Dec 26. Well backed in all three starts, colt should be involved every step.
3rd pick: #4 (Menace the Dennis) (12-1) - NEW gelding is working fast for his first since Dec 18. He's had legitimate excuses in his first pair and his recent a.m. drills indicate he's a better horse now. Can grab a share at a big price.
4th pick: #2 (Pundy) (5-2) - Nice debut here Jan 1 saw him fight it out every step while missing by a 1/2 length. Trainer Pete Miller moves him up in class and gelding should get right to the rail. Can't be dismissed despite facing tougher.
