Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (BUDLITELARRY) (5-1) - Very lightly raced, he raced evenly while having some traffic issues here a week ago at this tag going five furlongs. Only beaten by 4.5 lengths, it was his first start since debuting at Gulfstream Park on July 11 of 2014. Good barn brings him back quickly and stretches him out 1.5 furlongs. Price play.

2nd pick: #3 (Champs Law) (6-1) - Unraced since late October, he's racing off a positive trainer switch to Twylla Bensmiller. 4yo worked a sharp half-mile here Jan. 2nd and is dropping to a new low in price.

3rd pick: #10 (Jimbaran Bay) (7-2) - He ran evenly here at this tag Dec. 29th. Gelding was 'bumped' heavily at the break and made a menacing move before leveling off. Should contend in this spot.

4th pick: #1 (Rock of Faith) (6-1) - Lightly raced 5yo is racing second back off a 13-month layoff. He has early speed and is breaking from the rail. Trainer Val Lund replaces apprentice Willey with veteran Alex Ramgeet.
