Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (SIDEPOCKET ACTION) (12-1) - Longshot moves back out in the gate after being sent hard in his last pair from inside posts. He tired last out after being involved in a speed duel and should have a much less stressful trip today. Think he has a good chance at a big price.

2nd pick: #7 (Red Envelope) (3-1) - Competitive in all three dirt sprints, 4yo has been bet heavily in all five career starts. I like his outside post and trainer Dan Hendricks worked him six times here during December. A serious win candidate.

3rd pick: #1 (Coil to Strike) (6-1) - NEW gelding hasn't raced since a rather poor effort debuting here in February. Working very fast for his return, 4yo has the rail and is dangerous at a square price if ready.

4th pick: #4 (Bouncing Around) (8-1) - Blinkers go on gelding who has raced evenly in both starts, one in a dirt sprint and the other going a mile on the turf. He earned good figures in each and looks ready for a competitive attempt.
