Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (CALIFORNIUM) (8-5) - Speedy 4-year-old drops to a new low while switching from grass to dirt. Four-year-old was an easy maiden winner on the local dirt at this trip Dec. 31 and he can take this group from gate-to-wire.
2nd pick: #7 (Lucky B.N.) (4-1) - Blinkers go on lightly-raced 4-year-old who is stretching out in distance in his third back off a two month break. Competitive Canadian bred is a late threat in this spot.
3rd pick: #3 (Madikwe) (6-1) - Gelding had some serious traffic issues here at this level and distance Feb. 14. Beaten 10 lengths that day but he had finished second in four of his previous five starts. Price play must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #5 (Preachers Dream) (8-1) - Speedy sort set a quick and pressured before weakening to finish third at this level and distance Feb. 28. It was his first ever around two turns and a positive outing. He seems capable of stalking and that's a plus with 'Californium' probably intent on making the lead.
