Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (SEA OF LIBERTY) (7-2) - Lightly raced gelding is working fast locally for his first since early February. He's finished 2nd in all three starts, his outside post is a plus, and 3yo gets a slight edge if ready.
2nd pick: #4 (Afternoon Heat) (4-1) - Involved every step at this level and distance Nov 15 at Del Mar, colt missed by just under a length. It was his first since Aug 14 when Steve Knapp claimed him for $50,000 and 3yo is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Jetovator) (5-1) - Home bred moves back to the dirt and cuts back in distance after finishing 3rd at this level going a mile on the Santa Anita turf Oct 11. Competitive sprinting on the dirt in the past, he must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #7 (Loafers Boy) (9-2) - Well backed when debuting at this distance Nov 15 at Del Mar, he was never involved following a troubled break. He's worked fast since and think he can factor with a clean beginning.
