Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (CATCH ME IF U CAN) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, gelding makes his local debut after going 5-1-1-0 on the NYRA circuit facing tougher. Freshened up since Dec. 21, speedy sort is working steadily and trainer Bob Diodoro drops him to a new low.
2nd pick: #1 (Fire Makers Star) (8-1) - A lightly raced state bred, he's facing winners for the first time. Colt broke his maiden here going 5 furlongs Feb. 1 in his first start with blinkers on and is clearly improving. 3yo has the rail and is dangerous at a square price.
3rd pick: #3 (Mayhaw Jelly) (12-1) - He rallied to break his maiden going 6.5 furlongs Jan. 30 in his ninth start and first at Delta Downs. Competitive facing tougher before that attempt, the stretch runner must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #5 (Guilty Maverick) (8-1) - He's another that broke his maiden last out. Gelding went wire-to-wire at 6.5 furlongs for a $10K tag Feb. 16 and earned a good figure in what was only his 3rd attempt. Think he's capable of getting a share at a big price.
