Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (THIS DANCE IS MINE) (3-1) - Lightly-raced colt was a sharp maiden winner here at this distance Nov. 27. Score earned him a fine figure for the level and earned him almost a six week rest. In his first facing winners Jan. 3, he pressed a quick pace while widest and tired in the final furlong to be beaten four lengths. Home bred can take this from on or just off the lead.

2nd pick: #1 (Hunters Vow) (7-2) - Well bred 4-year-old takes a big drop in class for his third facing winners. An easy maiden winner here at this trip Sept. 17, he's raced evenly in his last pair facing much tougher. Gelding by 'Broken Vow' moves to the rail and is a strong win candidate.

3rd pick: #4 (Star Express) (2-1) - Gelding was a sharp maiden winner here in his first local start. Competitive many times on the tougher So. California circuit racing on the dirt, he rallied to finish second at this level Jan. 2. The probable favorite and a stretch threat.

4th pick: #2 (Heroes for Ghosts) (9-2) - Very lightly-raced 5-year-old broke his maiden here for a $5K tag going five furlongs Jan. 6. Gelding by 'City Zip' has room for upside and may factor in his first facing winners.
