Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (FORTNITE DANCE) (3-1) - Competitive in all four starts, he races today with a lot of changes. A NEW gelding, trainer Patrick Gallagher drops him in price, switches him from grass to dirt, and is adding blinkers. He finished 2nd on the dirt at Del Mar Aug 4 and will be tough to beat in this spot.
2nd pick: #2 (Forestation) (10-1) - Longshot stretches out in his 3rd back following a 2.5 month freshening. Cal bred earned a career best figure Dec 15, draws a good inside post, and think he can factor at a big price.
3rd pick: #6 (R B Eye) (5-2) - He tired late to finish a distant 3rd racing at this tag & trip at Los Alamitos Dec 14. Speed/stalker had finished 2nd in his previous pair under similar conditions and is an obvious contender.
4th pick: #9 (Magic Bro) (12-1) - Another longshot, he raced evenly while between horses to finish to finish almost two lengths behind 'R b Eye' last out. He's worked twice since and is capable of factoring at a big price with a bit of improvement.
