Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (GRANDPA LOUIE) (3-1) - He finished 2nd when debuting at this level going 5.5 furlongs at Los Alamitos Dec 8. Sold privately following that race, he runs today for Peter Miller (25% with new arrivals) and he's adding blinkers.
2nd pick: #7 (Wild Bean) (6-1) - Debuting gelding has a fine series of works on view and all have been local. Trainer Dave Hoffmans is 4-2-2-0 at this meet following a poor 2018 and he has Drayden Van Dyke aboard.
3rd pick: #10 (Toby Time) (15-1) - Another making his debut, he's been working very fast at Los Alamitos for veteran Charlie Treece. He's already won a pair at this meet and this colt may impact at a big price.
4th pick: #8 (Lieutenant Dan) (4-1) - He was only a 'nose' behind 'Grandpa Louie' last out in a fine first attempt. Home bred has worked three times since and must be left in the mix.
