Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (HEAT) (9-2) - Home bred is shortening up in distance after three straight good efforts at this level going a mile. Stalker is in shape and draws a nice outside post in this down the hill contest.
2nd pick: #7 (Seedsandstemsagain) (6-1) - Long time maiden is racing third back from a half-year's absence. He finished third here going 1 1/8th miles on the turf Jan 15 and has finished second in three of four in the past at this 6.5-furlong down the hill trip.
3rd pick: #5 (Vow to Be Tops) (5-1) - Lightly raced, he finished an even third here at this level and distance Jan 3. It was his first race in eight months and is an obvious contender in this spot.
4th pick: #4 (Lord of Chaos) (7-2) - Gelding finished third here at this level and distance when debuting Jan 22. The probable favorite, he's a threat at a short price, but is no lock to win this.
