Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (AZUL COAST) (2-1) - One of two from the barn of Bob Baffert and the pair would seem to be in a race by themselves on paper. This $320K son of 'Super Saver' overcame a tough trip to win his debut by 4 lengths going a mile at Los Alamitos Dec. 8. I give him a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Authentic) (8-5) - The second of the Baffert trained pair, he was heavily bet when winning his debut going 5.5 furlongs at Del Mar Nov. 9. Working fast since, he has the rail, and I could have easily made him the top selection.
3rd pick: #2 (Zimba Warrior) (12-1) - Colt stretches out following a third place finish in the G3 Bob Hope Stakes Nov. 16 at Del Mar. He has a stalking style and may grab a share at a square price if given a patient ride.
