Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (CAPTAIN CARCHY) (5-2) - One-run type has finished second at this tag in all four attempts at this distance. Each has come at Santa Anita and 4-year-old should get a solid pace to close into. The top pick.
2nd pick: #7 (Blue Law) (2-1) - Freshened up since Nov 19, he's dropping in class, switching from turf to dirt, and is shortening up in distance. He's been competitive many times on the grass facing tougher and is a major threat if he handles the main track.
3rd pick: #3 (Where's Bubba) (7-2) - Lightly-raced gelding has a speed/stalking style and is racing second off a seven week break. He was very wide going two turns last out after breaking from a tough outside post. Draws better and is a threat.
4th pick: #2 (Travel Bound) (4-1) - He has a bit of speed and is cutting back in distance. Well bred 4-year-old has already lost four times at this tag and needs to step it up a bit.
