Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (UNO MAS MODELO) (8-5) - He drops in class after rallying while wide to finish fourth in the G3 Mr. Prospector Stakes at this distance Dec. 22. He had won a pair of sprint stakes prior to that and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #8 (Whyruawesome) (5-1) - One of three entered by leading trainer Jorge Navarro and they all race as separate betting interests. A winner here facing weaker at 6 furlongs Dec. 26 it was his first start in three months. Working fast since this veteran has won four times at this distance and is dangerous at a square price.
3rd pick: #4 (Nominal Dollars) (12-1) - Another of the Navarro runners, old timer ran poorly here going a mile Dec. 23. Very sharp at this distance in his previous start, it's noted he gets a big rider upgrade to Luis Saez.
4th pick: #9 (Magnifier) (8-1) - He has a good outside post and early speed to use from it. There is other speed signed on so this Navarro trained 7yo will need a heady ride from Jose Ortiz.
