Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (DIAL ME IN) (7-2) - He mostly likely would have won his latest, but had trouble at the start, and a wide trip the rest of the way. Beaten only a 1/2-length, he was moved up from 3rd to 2nd following the disqualification of the winner, today's rival 'Bold Papa.' Lightly raced, he gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #5 (Schooley) (9-2) - Speedy gelding was another who had a lot of trouble in the same last race as 'Dial Me In.' Beaten just over a length, 4yo should be involved every step and is a win candidate.

3rd pick: #8 (Save Ground) (4-1) - Improving and lightly raced, he's been competitive in all three appearances. Reddam home bred has a stalking style and must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #9 (Bold Papa) (3-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, he tired badly here racing on the dirt Jan. 1. Competitive in five straight on the turf prior to that, stalker won at this level and distance Nov. 19 at Del Mar, but was disqualified and placed 5th. An obvious contender at a short price.
