Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (GIANT EXPECTATIONS) (5-1) - He ships back from Gulfstream Park where he tired badly in the Pegasus World Classic (G1) Jan. 27. He had won the G2 San Antonio Stakes here going 8.5 furlongs Dec. 26 and earned a career best figure that afternoon. Back on his home track, he's working fast and think he'll run well at a square price.
2nd pick: #2 (Prime Attraction) (8-1) - Long shot has made amazing strides since last spring. Competent on both dirt and turf, he rallied to finish second to today's rival 'Accelerate in the G2 San Pasquale going 9 furlongs here Feb. 3. He has a ground-saving post and can factor at a big price.
3rd pick: #7 (Accelerate) (5-2) - The probable favorite, he rallied to win the 9 furlong San Pasquale Stakes (G2) here Feb. 3. Stalker has wet track experience and is an obvious contender if able to avoid a wide trip.
4th pick: #8 (Mubtaahij) (4-1) - World traveler has won over $4.5M and has a flexible style. Unlike most, he has a lot of experience at this longer trip and a lot of it has been positive 10-2-2-2. Another who can factor if able to avoid losing ground in the early stages from his outside post.
