Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (CHEVAL DE MONTAGNE) (7-2) - Colt set a quick and pressured pace before tiring late in a mile grass contest here facing much tougher Jan 18. It was his first since Oct 11 when he was beaten a 'nose' at Retama Park sprinting on the dirt. Barn brings him back in nine days, drops him way down in class, and has him back on the dirt. The horse to beat.

2nd pick: #1 (Hudson) (5-1) - Stretch-out sprinter has the rail and is racing second back from a seven week freshening. In a top barn (Karl Broberg), grey colt tired while having traffic issues in a sprint here at this tag just five days ago. Very dangerous in this spot.

3rd pick: #4 (Landon's First) (2-1) - The probable main speed, he's been on the sidelines for the past three months. He tired badly at Delta Downs when last in action and is dropping to a new low in his Sam Houston debut.
