Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (MYSTICAL MOON) (4-1) - A home bred son of 'Malibu Moon', he's finished third in both starts so far, each on the grass at this level. Colt has early speed, draws a fine post, and is shortening up a furlong. I give him a slight edge in a contest that you should box your bets in.
2nd pick: #4 (Shining Through) (5-2) - Another colt by 'Malibu Moon', this one sold for $200,000 as a yearling back in 2017. He finished 2nd last out while in front of 'Mystical Moon' and has clearly improved since switching to the turf.
3rd pick: #6 (Mobou) (3-1) - Calif. bred has fine early speed and just missed (a 1/2 length) in his grass debut at this distance Dec. 2 at Del Mar. A $390,000 son of 'Uncle Mo', he should be involved every step.
4th pick: #8 (Storms River) (7-2) - He's finished close up in both starts going shorter and has been freshened up for just over two months. He's worked a half-dozen times here since Dec. 9 and is bred to like this longer trip.
