Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (THANKFUL EVERY DAY) (4-1) - Colt is racing third back from a long layoff (12.5 months) and enters off a wide pace-pressing second place finish at this tag going 5 furlongs Dec. 10 at Los Alamitos Race Course. He's worked since and has the rail which was the place to be on the dirt opening day.

2nd pick: #3 (Insubordination) (7-2) - Long time maiden stumbled facing tougher at Los Al Nov. 23 and that cost him any chance. He had finished third at Del Mar in his previous start and is dropping to a new low for this attempt.

3rd pick: #5 (Chrisiscookin) (5-2) - The morning line favorite, he's another dropping to a new low. Gelding has been competitive in all five dirt attempts facing tougher and is an obvious threat.

4th pick: #6 (Majordomo) (8-1) - Lightly-raced , he went evenly last out at Los Al and was only 2 lengths in back of 'Thankful Every Day'. Only his second start, it was his first in 3.5 months and was a big move forward off his debut. Price play can factor in this spot.
