Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (WISELY) (3-1) - He's been freshened up since rallying to finish second here at this tag going 8.5 furlongs Jan. 3. The 4yo had a lot of traffic issues that afternoon and strong finisher can win this with a better journey.
2nd pick: #1 (Trump's Kitten) (5-2) - A lightly raced son of 'Kitten's Joy', he made up some ground following a stumbling start here at this claiming price Jan. 16. Only his second start, it was his first on the grass and he's a strong win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #12 (Taranto) (9-2) - Blinkers go on gelding who hasn't raced since June 29. He has talent, has been competitive facing tougher, and is dropping into a claimer for the first time. Luis Saez is aboard this 4yo by 'Gio Pomti' and he's a major player if ready,
4th pick: #2 (U S Academy) (12-1) - He's stretching out in distance following a pair of even efforts here at this level going 5 furlongs. Gelding breaks just off the rail and is capable of getting a share at a big price.
