Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (HANK THE TANK) (5-2) - He finished a pace-pressing third at this level going 6 furlongs Dec. 31. It was his first race in four months and he should move forward off of t. Speed/stalker draws a nice outside post for this 6.5 furlong trip and gets top billing.
2nd pick: #4 (Rick's Dream) (3-1) - Gelding rallied to finish second, a 1/2 length in front of 'Hank the Tank' here Dec. 31. Competitive in four of his last five, he likes it here 4-0-2-2 and is an obvious threat.
3rd pick: #2 (Gonna Fly Now) (6-1) - Nine-year-old tired to finish fourth here in a small field (6) going two-turns for a $20K tag Jan. 12. Stakes placed many years ago (2013) he's working fast, shortening up, and is capable of getting a slice of this.
4th pick: #7 (We Go Now) (6-1) - Stalker has been away from action since June 25. Steady performer, likes it at Santa Anita 11-2-2-3, is working above average, and is a factor if ready.
