Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (TENPINS GENTLEMAN) (4-1) - He's shortening up in distance after chasing and tiring going 6.5-furlongs here at this level Jan 29. Four-year-old had missed by a 'neck' at this five-furlong trip Jan 7 and stalker has a shot at springing a mild upset.
2nd pick: #4 (Washboard Willie) (9-5) - The probable heavy favorite, he ships back from the Fair Grounds where he came up a 'head' short going 5.5-furlongs Jan 30. He likes this distance 8-1-3-2 and is an obvious win candidate at a short price.
3rd pick: #9 (Rascal) (5-1) - Freshened up since Dec 23, he's dropping down to this $5,000 price tag for the first time. Gelding has been competitive many times in the past facing tougher and is a major threat against this group.
