Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (HONDURAS) (4-1) - He's dropping back down after tiring following a bobbling start for twice this tag Oct. 10 at Keeneland. Competitive in three straight prior to that, speed/stalker has the rail and think he can win this at a square price with a trouble free beginning.
2nd pick: #4 (Felipe) (8-1) - 3yo raced evenly here at this distance facing tougher Sept. 15, then tired badly in his follow up going two-turns at Indiana Grand Raceway Oct. 2. He fits on figures and he broke his maiden on a muddy surface at the Fair Grounds in late December.
3rd pick: #3 (Rock Me) (6-1) - This 4yo gelding ran second going 6.5 furlongs at Keeneland for a $7,500 price tag Oct. 19. It was a career best overall and it followed a win sprinting in Indiana Oct. 2. In the mix.
4th pick: #11 (One Man Party) (12-1) - Lightly raced longshot has early speed, is dropping to a new low, and has blinkers added in his third back following a six month layoff. 3yo draws a nice post at this distance and his lone win came debuting on a sloppy track Feb. 10 at Oaklawn.
