Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (IRISH MIAS) (9-2) - Home bred finished 2nd here in a $75K stakes going a mile Nov 30. He earned a career best figure, draws a good post, and I give him a slight edge in a contest where you should box any wagers made.
2nd pick: #6 (Mystic Lancealot) (8-1) - One of two entered by Todd Pletcher and the pair race uncoupled. He won his debut spriting at saratoga Aug 15 and has been competitive in one of three stakes since then. Working fast at the Palm Beach Downs Center, this $450K son of 'Into Mischief' is a win candidate at a square price.
3rd pick: #9 (Summer to Remember) (7-2) - The second of the Pletcher trained pair, he was a sharp maiden winner here as the heavy favorite going a mile Dec 11. Only his 2nd start, it was his first since checking in 2nd debuting in a strong field Aug 10 at Saratoga. He's working fast and is in the win mix.
4th pick: #1 (Get Smokin) (6-1) - Speedy and lightly raced, he was very sharp in his frst pair before tiring in his stakes debut Oct 26 at Belmont. He has a fine series of works showing at the Palm Bach Downs Center, has the rail, and Jose Ortiz is aboard.
