Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (BOLT D'ORO) (5-2) - Talented colt won his first three starts last year before a rather poor ride saw him finish third in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1) at Del Mar Nov 4. Training very fast for his return, $630,000 son of 'Medaglia d'Oro' has a new rider (Javier Castellano) and think he can make his seasonal debut a winning one.
2nd pick: #4 (McKinzie) (9-5) - From the Baffert barn, colt was an easy winner over an over-matched group when he won the Sham Stakes (G3) here going a mile Jan. 6. Stalker has been working fast locally and Mr Baffert is a expert at preparing his 3-year-olds for the Triple Crown races. An obvious threat.
3rd pick: #3 (Ayacara) (12-1) - English bred is he type that can run all day and believe that asset may come in handy on the expected wet going. Think he'l be closing fast at a square price.
4th pick: #8 (Kanthaka) (4-1) - He looked sharp when wining the San Vincente Stakes (G2) here going 7 furlongs Feb. 10. The figure earned was big and this colt will be stretching out around two-turns for the first time.
