Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (ATYPIQUE) (6-1) - Price play is racing first of a Bob Diodoro claim (23%) and a subsequent two month freshening (24%). He returns as a NEW gelding, and trainer is adding blinkers (21%). Well bred 4yo has the rail and has a solid chance with all the positive changes.
2nd pick: #2 (Ideal) (5-2) - Colt is racing third back from a 15-month layoff. Speedy sort is dropping into a claimer for the first time and is stretching out in distance. He's been competitive in both return starts sprinting and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Above Board) (3-1) - Colt cost $350,000 and is dropping down to race in a $40K claimer. On the sidelines since Nov., he's working fast, and has Bejarano aboard. Very dangerous if ready.
4th pick: #5 (Storm the Shore) (5-1) - Speedy sort is stretching out around two turns for the first time. Fits, but he needs to do better for anything more than a minor award.
