Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (SEATTLE SERENADE) (9-5) - He makes his long awaited debut very late in his three-year-old season. Colt by 'Smart Strike' was purchased for $1,000,000 as a Keeeneland sales yearling back in Sept of 2013. He was a buy-back, meaning that the people that bred him bought him back when he didn't reach his reserve bid. Working fast, he has Mike Smith aboard, and Hall of Fame member Jerry Hollendorfer wins at a 30% rate first out.

2nd pick: #6 (Power of Hope) (5-2) - One of two entered by veteran Ron Ellis and they give him a strong hand in today's opener. Son of 'Malibu Moon' hasn't broken well in all three starts, but last out rallied to check in third, a length behind today's rival 'Picasso's Mandolin.' Stretch threat.

3rd pick: #3 (Picasso's Mandolin) (2-1) - The second of the Ellis trained runners, he rallied while wide to finish second when debuting Oct 12 at Santa Anita. Four-year-old got past his stablemate 'Power of Hope' in the final few strides in a useful first appearance. Must be left in the mix.
