Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (CALIFORNIA DIAMOND) (5-2) - Multiple stakes winner is a perfect four-for-four at Santa Anita and is 9-5-4-0 overall. Speed/stalker is working nicely and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #2 (Ann Arbor Eddie) (3-1) - Lightly raced, he's exchanged decisions with 'California Diamond' in his last pair. Improving and he should secure the rail into the first turn. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Coils Gold) (2-1) - Pegram home bred moves way up in class and stretches out in distance. He was an easy wire-to-wire winner debuting in a Del Mar sprint Nov. 13. In the Baffert barn and a threat.
4th pick: #4 (Hot Smoke) (8-1) - Longshot tries hard every time and has finished within range of both of today's top two selections. Capable of getting a good share at a square price.
