Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (CONGRATS SEATTLE) (8-1) - One of two entered by leading trainer Bob Diodoro and the pair race uncoupled. Longshot has been on the sidelines since Oct 17 when he did not fire at Northlands Park. One-run type was competitive last summer at Canterbury Park in his only previous grass attempt and is working nicely for his return. Price play.

2nd pick: #1 (Reservoir Point) (5-1) - The second of the pair from trainer Diodoro, speedy 4-year-old has been idle since an impressive maiden win in late July at Northlands Park. He has the rail, is lightly raced, and has plenty of room for upside. Gelding by 'Lemon Drop Kid' is a major threat if ready.

3rd pick: #2 (Royal Tale) (7-2) - The probable favorite, he's moving up in class and switches from dirt to turf. Stalker has been competitive in all four grass races and they've all been local. In shape and he has a recency edge on the top two picks.

4th pick: #8 (Sindy's Luck) - Calif. bred has been freshened up since breaking his maiden on this course Dec 8. Well bred and lightly raced, 4-year-old is by 'California Chrome's' sire 'Lucky Pulpit' is working very fast for his first in two months and first facing winners.
