Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (WORLD OF TROUBLE) (8-5) - He's the main speed and has won four of his last five and was beaten only a 'neck' in his only loss during tat streak. Last out he was an easy winner in an 'off the turf' sprint stakes at Gulfstream Jan. 26. The colt has gone 4-2-1-0 at this trip in the past and has a fine outside post out of the chute for this attempt.
2nd pick: #4 (Identity Politics) (6-1) - A lightly raced 4yo from the barn of Chad Brown, he ships from Gulfstream where he missed by a 'head' at this distance facing weaker March 3. Strong finisher should get a fast and/or contested pace to rally into and is dangerous at a square price.
3rd pick: #7 (Honor Up) (6-1) - Very consistent New York bred has gone 5-4-1-0 since joining the barn of Michelle Nevin last October. Stalker loves it at Aqueduct (6-4-2-0) and is 4-2-2-0 at this distance. A win candidate at a square price.
4th pick: #5 (Skyler's Scramjet) (12-1) - Longshot is from the same barn (Michelle Nevin) as 'Honor Up.' Another New York bred, he's consistent and has a speed/stalking style. I think he's capable of getting a share at a big price, but a win would be a bit of a surprise.
