Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (THUNDERWOLF) (4-1) - He had a rough trip between horses when setting a pressured pace before tiring when debuting facing tougher here Jan 1. He's worked twice since, drops in class, and gets top billing.
2nd pick: #7 (Geocas Dream) (8-1) - Longshot debuts off of some good works at Los Alamitos, including a bullet half-mile from the gate Jan 6. A repeat of that drill in 'live' action makes him a threat at a square price.
3rd pick: #4 (Moon Juice) (7-2) - Well backed in his last pair facing tougher, he held gamely to finish 3rd here Dec 30. Clearly improving and he drops down to a new low. Win candidate.
4th pick: #1 (Mac McLovin) (4-1) - Stalker drops to a new low and he breaks from the rail. He fits nicely with this group and must be left in the mix.
