Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (ULTRA SHARP) (5-2) - Stretch out sprinter finished a pace-pressing 2nd here at this price tag going six furlongs Jan. 1st. It was his first race since late May, and he should be able to control the pace on the lead against this group.
2nd pick: #1 (Radio Silent) (2-1) - Lightly raced colt moves up in class after rallying to check in 2nd of 12, beaten just over a length racing here for a $20K tag Jan. 2nd. It was a career best and came off a three-month layoff. He has the rail and Bejarano stays aboard. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Run the Show) (3-1) - Well bred 5yo has never run to his bloodlines. He's dropping to a new low and is switching from turf to dirt in his second back from a two-month break.
4th pick: #6 (Armored Car) (3-1) - Another that was bred to be a better horse than he's turned out to be. Freshened up since Nov. 19th, trainer Rich Mandella is dropping into a claimer for the first time. Working well and a stretch threat.
