Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (FAIR TRADE) (7-2) - He's moving back to the grass and up in class for this attempt. Clearly better on the turf, he has more speed than most, and has run well facing tougher in the past. Looks set for a big effort.
2nd pick: #9 (Best Asset) (3-1) - Calif. bred is dropping down in class and moves back to the grass after a solid effort on the local dirt Jan 2. He's in shape and has never raced this low. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Cyber Star) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, he's been sharp in four straight local starts. Speedy sort missed by less than a length facing tougher on the grass here Nov 30. Win candidate, but at a short price.
4th pick: #5 (Bertrane) (9-2) - Gelding is racing first off a Ramiro Barraza claim. He moves him back up in class and switches him from dirt to grass. Clearly better on the turf, he must be left in the mix.
