Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (CATALOGUE) (8-5) - One of several well-bred horses entered, he's finished second here in two straight facing tougher. This speed/stalker has a recency edge on his main rival and that gives him the edge.
2nd pick: #6 (Data Central) (9-5) - A California invader, he hasn't raced since Oct. 12 and will be on the dirt for the first time. Competitive in all seven starts on the grass, they've come at various distances. He has a new trainer (Brett Brinkman) and this 4yo by 'Data Lin' is an obvious threat if he handles the dirt and the tight turns here.
3rd pick: #4 (Zartastic) (5-1) - On the sidelines since Dec. 15, he finished a close-up third here at this tag going 7 furlongs. He's getting better and it's noted that leading rider Tim Thornton is aboard for the first time.
