Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (REMEMBER CLEMENT) (10-1) - He's dropping down in class and stretching out in distance. Gelding missed by a 'neck' racing for a $50K tag Dec. 3rd at Los Alamitos going 5.5 furlongs. In his follow up race here under similar conditions, he was never involved. Along with the drop down, trainer Art Sherman ads blinkers. Has a shot at a big price.
2nd pick: #7 (Crushin Candy) (3-1) - The morning line favorite, she set the pace and held to finish 2nd here at this tag going 6.5 furlongs Jan. 22nd. It was his first since debuting last June, and he's an obvious win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #5 (Holiday Mousse) (8-1) - Away slowly when debuting here on the grass facing tougher Jan. 16th, he was never involved at any point. Trainer Doug O'Neill, 20% second time out, moves him to the dirt and drops him down. Price play.
4th pick: #1 (Bobby Z) (6-1) - He raced evenly to finish 4th in his debut here Dec. 26th, then 'bobbled' at the start in his follow up Jan. 18th. A NEW gelding, he's dropping in class and races with blinkers on. Can factor with all the changes.
