Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (NORTH COUNTRY GUY) (5-2) - He finished third here at this tag going 5 furlongs July 1. Race was won by a big drop down the Baffert barn and this grey gelding meets no such rival in this small field. Calif. bred gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #2 (Street Zombie) (2-1) - Speedy and lightly-raced, he's been on the sidelines since finished a pace-chasing fourth here facing tougher at this distance Dec. 14. Well backed in all three attempts, $60,000 purchase is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Captain N Barron) (3-1) - Even-paced type has been competitive in three of his last four racing at this $20,000 claiming price. Stalker has the rail and should factor with his normal effort.
