Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (EXULTATION) (5-2) - A lightly raced 4yo, he drops in class and foes turf to dirt for this attempt. He finished third here on the grass at this 2l condition for a $40K tag Jan. 4 and has now been competitive in all four starts. He broke his maiden on the dirt at Los Al Sept. 6 and will be tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #6 (It Makes Sense) (8-1) - Longshot raced evenly after a poor break to finish a distant fourth at Los Al at this level Dec. 15. Working fast since he has a new trainer (Shawn Davis ) and I think this 4yo is a contender at a big price.
3rd pick: #8 (Surfside Sunset) (3-1) - Away since Aug. 4, he raced evenly that day facing weaker at Del Mar. Working steadily fo his return, he has solid figures and a fine outside post combined with his stalking style.
4th pick: #7 (Bear Chum) (12-1) - Australian import raced evenly here at this level following a slow break Jan. 5. It was his first since Sept. 28, a positive attempt, and he may grab a share at long odds.
