Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (CALDERA) (4-1) - His performance last weak was puzzling. Allowed to trail early, he made up some ground late. It may have been a get acquainted run in his first on the west coast. Top New York barn (Dave Jacobson) brings him back quickly and shortens him up. Could be the money run.

2nd pick: #5 (Film Freak) (3-1) - Lightly-raced 4-year-old has been on the sidelines since Oct 16. Stretch runner has finished fourth in all three turf races. Working nicely and a stretch threat.

3rd pick: #8 (True Image) (9-2) - Away since mid-June, he has more early speed than the top two picks. He's run well in both turf starts and each has come here at this trip. A major danger if ready.

4th pick: #1 (Clickjab) (5-1) - Away since Aug 22, his past two years have been beset with layoffs. Capable with his best, and his works are very encouraging.

5th pick: #7 (Cimpl Man) (8-1) - Colt is lightly-raced and is making his turf debut. Bred for the surface, he has a bit of speed and may factor at long odds.
