Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (BASINCA) (7-2) - Colt is moving to the grass and attempting a 2-turn distance both for the first time. Competitive in 2 of 3 at this level sprinting on the dirt, he's working very fast and is bred for the turf.

2nd pick: #11 (Undeniable U) (5-2) - The probable favorite, he's finished second in both turf starts, the latest when beaten by the talented 'Path of David'. Freshened up since Nov 28, he's from the Baffert barn, is working fast, and is an obvious win candidate.

3rd pick: #8 (Agronomy) (6-1) - The probable speed, he's stretching out and moving back to the grass. Colt cost $560,000 last March and has flashed big early speed in both starts to date. He's bred for turf success and is dangerous if left alone on the lead.

4th pick: #3 (Tristan's Trilogy) (8-1) - Grey colt cost $530K in the same sale last March as 'Agronomy.' Speed/stalker races with blinkers off for the first time and can factor at long odds.

5th pick: #2 (Silent Movies) (8-1) - He has some speed and breaks just off the rail. He just missed at this level and distance Nov 8, but tired in a follow up start. Can grab a share if not involved in an early speed duel.
