Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (EDDIE HASKELL) (2-1) - Reddam home bred was bet down to 8-5 favoritism when debuting Dec 19 at Los Alamitos. Son of 'Square Eddie' broke running, shook clear after an early speed duel, then drew off to win by just over three lengths. He completed the six-furlong distance in 1:10.80 and has worked twice since. He may be a talented one.
2nd pick: #3 (Family Code) (4-1) - The field's most experienced runner has gone 7-2-1-2 so far all on conventional dirt. Speed/stalker is dropping in class and shortening up in distance. He's one of two who broke his maiden here and is a strong threat.
3rd pick: #6 (Viviendo El Sueno) (4-1) - Stretch runner raced both wide and evenly in the same last race going a mile as 'Family Code.' He finished in front of that rival after that runner tired from his early effort. He would love a fast/and or contested pace to develop.
