Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (CALDERA) (6-1) - Price play stretches back out following an even effort here going 'down the hill' at this level Jan. 22nd. Well bred colt hasn't yet repeated his New York form for trainer Dave Jacobson, but this may be the right spot at a big price.
2nd pick: #4 (Shortstormcoming) (5-2) - The probable favorite, he just failed to last after setting the pace here at this level going nine furlongs Jan. 15th. It was his first since Nov. 19th and by far a career best. An obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Cool Green) (7-2) - Trainer Doug O'Neill moves him back to the grass and removes his blinkers after a one race experiment. 4yo just missed on the grass at this distance Jan. 18th, and veteran Kent Desormeaux replaces Drayden Van Dyke. Must be left in the win mix.
4th pick: #3 (Cimpl Man) (3-1) - Colt rallied to finish 2nd at this level going the famous 6.5-furlong trip 'down the hill' here Jan. 22nd. By far his best to date, and it was his first ever on the grass and second back from a year's layoff.
