Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (BARNACLE BILL) (4-1) - New York shipper takes a big drop in class for his local debut. He raced both wide and evenly at Aqueduct Dec. 1 on a muddy track going a one-turn mile for a $40K tag. He should show whatever he has in this spot.

2nd pick: #8 (Stompthegrapes) (3-1) - Another coming in from New York, he tired when debuting in an Aqueduct sprint for a $25K claiming price Nov. 9. From the Pletcher barn, the Hall of Fame member wins at a 30% rate second time out and is at 26% when stretching runners out in distance.

3rd pick: #5 (Include the Family) (8-1) - Gelding has had trouble breaking cleanly in both sprints. He made up some ground here going seven furlongs at this tag Nov. 26 and is brought back quickly while stretching out in distance.

4th pick: #1 (Spartan Pride) (9-2) - He checked in a distant third when debuting here at this tag and trip Nov. 8. Claimed that day by veteran Scott Lake, he's worked him since and Pa. bred draws the rail. Look for a better effort in his spot.
