Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (DUETTINO) (7-2) - One of two entered by leading trainer Rudy Rodriguez and the pair race uncoupled. Colt by 'Big Brown' drops in class after showing little in a pair facing tougher. Rodriguez adds both blinkers and leading rider Irad Ortiz Jr.
2nd pick: #1 (Buddy Anthony) (6-5) - The morning line favorite, he ships up from Laurel where he showed good early speed in a pair facing tougher. Trainer Gary Contessa brings him back in a week, drops him down, and removes his blinkers. Gret gelding has the rail and is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Correjon) (5-1) - The second of the Rodriguez runners, he's the field's only first-time starter. Three-year-old has breezed on this surface seven times since Jan. 13 and gelding by 'Cool Coal Man' need not be much to factor against this group.
4th pick: #6 (Put the Boss Back) (6-1) - Freshened up since Jan. 13, home bred is dropping to a new low and is cutting back in distance. Gelding has some speed and may grab a share at a square price.
