Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (PRODIGAL SON) (4-1) - Reddam home bred pressed a quick pace and had some traffic issues while tiring here debuting at this level Jan. 13. He's worked three times since draws well. and I like his chances.
2nd pick: #6 (Play Money) (2-1) - A home bred by 'Unusual Heat', he's been working fast for his debut and is from a 23% first out barn (Dave Hoffmans). The colt breezed 6 furlongs here in 1:12 flat Jan. 22 and he's a serious win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Starring John Wain) (3-1) - Big long-striding colt has been freshened up since missing by just under a length here Dec. 31. He's moving up in class and is a stretch threat with leading rider Joel Rosario staying put.
