Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (TIZ A BILLY) (8-5) - The morning line favorite, he missed by a 'head' here at this level and distance Oct 12. Freshened up since, he's working fast and is the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #3 (Freemark) (3-1) - Colt cost $800,000 as a 2-year-old in training last March. In the Baffert barn, he set a pressured pace before tiring to finish third when debuting on the Los Alamitos dirt Dec 4. Barn moves him to the grass and Bejarano gets aboard. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #1 (Archaeo) (9-2) - The field's most experienced maiden, he's been competitive in all three turf starts. All have come going longer and trainer Doug O'Neill shortens him up in disnace. Can factor today.

4th pick: #6 (Chicago Style) (6-1) - One of four making their debuts, he's bred for the turf ('Kitten's Joy') and is working steadily for trainer Tom Proctor.
