Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (BURTON) (7-5) - Competitive in three straight, he's dropping to a new low while cutting back a furlong. Stalker finished third here going a mile for a $25K tag Feb. 18 and along with the other changes he has blinkers on. It's noted that leading rider Luis Saez stays aboard for the 5th straight time.
2nd pick: #5 (Rider of the Blue) (5-1) - He rallied from far back to finish 2nd here going 6 furlongs at this claiming price Feb. 25. It was his second following a Marc Vitali claim for $20K Jan. 21 and this gelding by 'Uncle Mo' is headed in the right direction.
3rd pick: #1 (King Wildcat) (4-1) - Even-paced type has been competitive at this level in his last pair of sprints. Colt has the rail and should factor from his ground saving post.
4th pick: #2 (Switchblade) (6-1) - One of two entered by trainer Nick Gonzalez and the pair race uncoupled. Grey gelding is racing third back of a 4.5 month layoff, drops to a new low, and is dropping 10 lbs with apprentice Gutierrez aboard.
