Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (BEACH PATROL) (7-2) - $250K son of 'Lemon Drop Kid' makes his local debut off almost a three month break and for a new trainer (Phil D'Amato). Colt missed by a length at this level on the Fair Grounds turf Dec 19 and can break his maiden in his west coast debut.
2nd pick: #4 (Scatastrophe) (8-1) - Un-raced since early Sep, he finished third that day at Del Mar after pressing the pace while wide. Working above average for his return, $280K son of 'Scat Daddy' is a strong factor.
3rd pick: #9 (Tristan's Trilogy) (12-1) - Longshot has some speed and has been competitive in three of his four grass starts. Grey colt is racing third back off a seven week break and can factor at a big price.
4th pick: #10 (Agronomy) (8-1) - NEW gelding has been bet in all three starts, with two of those coming on the turf. He cost $560K and his works indicate a competitive effort at a big price may be coming.
5th pick: #12 (Decisive Triumph) (6-1) - Blinkers go on no-speed type who draws a tough post for his style. May grab a small award unless the pace completely collapses.
