Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (BUILDER) (5-2) - He was involved every step when missing by a 'neck' here at this tag going a mile Jan. 6. He's finished 2nd in two of three since coming off a 6.5-month layoff Nov. 17 and he gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #2 (Union Rebel) (3-1) - Well bred 5yo broke his maiden going a mile for a $20K tag Dec. 16 at Los Alamitos. In his follow up here on the grass Jan. 5, he was only beaten 2.5 lengths for a $35K price tag. Back down in class and returning to the dirt, he's a serious wi candidate
3rd pick: #4 (June Two Four) (10-1) - Even-paced sprinting, he's back at the distance of his maiden win here Oct 5. Longshot is in shape and I think he can grab a share at a big price.
4th pick: #1 (Buck Duane) (20-1) - Stretch out sprinter has the rail and expect this longshot to be sent hard at the break. He fits with his best and is dangerous at a huge price if he gets an uncontested early lead.
