Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (TREE FIRE) (2-1) - He was a very sharp looking winner here racing for an $8000 tag at this distance Dec 27. Stalker cleared the 3l condition that afternoon and is smartly dropped down in class as he faces a tougher group. Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #5 (Dragon Attack) (7-2) - Very consistent gelding just missed here at this level and distance Dec 26. It was his 2nd back off almost an 8-week break and a repeat of it makes him a win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (To the Stars) (5-2) - Veteran races first off a Dale Bennett re-claim. High percentage barn paid od a bit to get him back after losing him for one race. 6yo has a solid record on conventional dirt 19-5-5-2 and must be left in the 3-horse win mix.
