Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (U S HERO) (4-1) - Even paced gelding was not involved last out after bobbling at the break. 3yo had shown good early speed in his previous pair and gets a slight edge as he faces a poor field.
2nd pick: #1 (Harliss) (2-1) - Speedy sort has the rail and is racing with blinkers on. He's tired in all three since coming off a pair of layoffs Aug. 23, but should be involved every step against this group.
3rd pick: #8 (Wild Cat Canyon) (6-1) - Colt finished a distant fourth after being bumped at the break Nov. 24 at Del Mar. He moves out in the gate and is capable of factoring at a square price with an alert beginning.
