Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (M J ALL DAY) (8-5) - Fair Grounds shipper is switching from grass to dirt and dropping down in class. He finished an even fourth there going a mile on the turf for a $25K claiming price Feb. 19. 3-year-old had run second on the main track there Jan. 1 and should break his maiden in this spot.
2nd pick: #9 (Draw Rein Dave) (7-2) - Freshened up since Jan. 21, he's dropping in half and is stretching out in distance. Competitive in three straight facing tougher, he has more positional speed than most and is dangerous this evening.
3rd pick: #8 (Shiner's Half Moon) (8-1) - Colt raced evenly when finishing fourth here when debuting at this level in a five-furlong sprint Feb. 22. Good barn (Danny Pish 25% second time out) brings him back quickly and he wins at a 19% rate on the increase in yardage.
4th pick: #1 (Starook) (10-1) - Very lightly-raced colt rallied to miss by a length racing at this level and distance Feb. 2. He has the rail and should grab a share of this at a square price.
