Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (WARREN'S CASPER) (8-5) - So. California shipper races off a change to leading trainer Bob Diodoro (24% with new arrivals). He drops him in class and shortens him up in distance for his local debut. 5yo worked a near bullet half-mile here Dec 7.
2nd pick: #5 (Too Much Johnson) (3-1) - NEW gelding has been on the sidelines for the past 2-months. He has some early speed and is in the high percentage barn of Mike Anderson. 3yo has a trio of local works showing, with a pair of those being well above average.
3rd pick: #1 (Sun Catcher) (8-1) - Veteran has been racing evenly of late. Longshot has the rail and could grab a minor award with one of his better efforts.
4th pick: #2 (Tux) (4-1) - Cal bred is back on conventional dirt for the first time since Sep 12. He finished a pace-chasing 2nd that day at Stockton going a mile. He ships in from Golden Gate Fields where he raced very wide and evenly from a tough post Dec 13.
