Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (APARTFROMTHECROWD) (7-2) - Colt has been bet down to favoritism in both starts. He rallied to check in a distant third at this level Dec 2. He was basically eliminated at the break that day and has a solid shot with a clean break in this two turn contest.

2nd pick: #10 (Into the Breach) (2-1) - One of two entered by trainer Kiaran McLaughlin and the pair race uncoupled. Grey colt has finished second in both starts, the latest coming Nov 27 going a mile. Working well and an obvious strong win candidate.

3rd pick: #7 (Opportunity Cost) (5-2) - Son of 'Tapit' cost $420,000 as a Keeneland Sales Yearling back in 2014. Colt raced very while while finishing fourth when debuting Nov 27. He was only 2.5 lengths behind 'Into the Breach' that afternoon and is from the barn of Todd Pletcher (34% second time out).

4th pick: #2 (Morocco) (6-1) - Freshened up since Nov 13, he checked in third that day going a mile at this level at Churchill Downs. A career best, this $375K son of 'Pioneer of the Nile' is working above average and draws a good inside post.
