Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (DIRTY) (3-1) - Very fast from the gate, he's dropping into a claimer and is racing on the grass both for the first time. Bred for the surface, $120,000 purchase enters of of three straight works on the Palm Meadows turf course and it's noted that leading rider Luis Saez is aboard for the first time.
2nd pick: #2 (To the Hilt) (5-2) - In shape gelding moves back to the grass after finishing second going 6 furlongs on the dirt for a $50K tag Jan. 20. Very sharp in one of two previous turf sprints, 3-year-old breaks just off the rail and should be involved every step.
3rd pick: #1 (Tambora) (4-1) - Debuting colt by 'Union Rags' cost $150,000 and runs first out for a $40K tag. In steady training since mid-November at Palm Beach Downs, he has the rail, Jose Ortiz is aboard, and this 3-year-old need not be anything special to factor against this group.
