Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (AREN VAUGHN) (9-2) - Price play was heavily backed when debuting Nov. 6th at Del Mar for a $50K tag. He tired to finish third after stalking a quick pace. Claimed that day by Tim Yakteen, he moves him up in class, and switches him to the turf. Working very fast, and he has a solid shot at a square price.
2nd pick: #5 (Diablo Caballero) (3-1) - The probable favorite, he's moving back to the grass after three straight on the dirt. Stalker has been competitive on the turf in the past and is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Ace Deuce) (6-1) - Long time maiden has finished second in three of five on the local turf. Fits with his best, and he should be a big price.
4th pick: #4 (At Ease) (5-1) - Lightly-raced, he's been competitive in all four turf starts, and is cutting back in distance for this attempt. He must be left in the win mix.
