Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (DIVE DOWN) (2-1) - Lightly-raced 5-year-old finished second at Los Alamitos for a $14K claiming price Dec 19. However, he was moved up to the top spot after being bumped at the 1/16th pole. Working well since, speed/stalker drops in price and he broke his maiden here Oct 8. Gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #6 (Candy for Debbie) (8-5) - The main speed, he ships down from Golden Gate Fields where he finished second and third in a pair on the Tapeta surface there. a 14-time winner overall, seven of those have come racing on conventional dirt. An obvious win candidate with Bejarano aboard.

3rd pick: #4 (Tiz Futurity) (6-1) - He's dropping back down after a poor efffor here facing tougher. Veteran finished second at Los Alamitos in his previous start racing for a $10K tag. Barn brings him back in nine days and he's a threat down the lane.
