Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (DIGNITAIRE) (9-2) - He ships back from Golden Gate Fields where he raced evenly in a high-end starter-allowance on the Tapeta surface there Jan. 21. In shape, his grass form fits with this weak group, and think he has a good shot at a square price.
2nd pick: #3 (Georgie Hyphen) (4-1) - A very lightly raced Irish import, he was away slowly and never involved facing tougher going 6.5 furlongs here on the grass Jan. 27. It was his first in No. America, first since May 2, and he runs today off a private change to leading trainer Peter Miller (25% with new arrivals).
3rd pick: #7 (Camino de Estrella) (3-1) - One-run type drops to a new low after finishing 7th of 8, beaten 2.5 lengths here going a mile for a $35K tag Jan. 5. Only his second ever on the grass, he drops to a new low and has worked four times since that attempt. Joel Rosario is aboard today for the first time.
4th pick: #8 (Hot American) (5-2) - The type that can 'run all day', he's the only horse entered in this non-winner of two contest that broke his maiden on the grass at this distance. He should be closing fast and is a threat, but at a short price.
