Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (IS TREVOR CLEVER) (3-1) - Well bred 5yo stretches out in distance after rallying to finish second at this tag going 7 furlongs Jan. 6. He has early sped and is stringing starts together after returning off a 9.5 month layoff Nov. 24. In the barn of Pete Miller and it looks like graduation day.
2nd pick: #5 (Dominant Don) (6-1) - Longshot is lightly raced, is taking a big drop, stretches out in distance, and has blinkers on. Four-year-old runs second off a John Sadler claim and he has him making back-to-back starts for the first time.
3rd pick: #4 (Seau) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, he's going grass to dirt and is dropping into a claimer for the first time. Even paced in most all his starts facing tougher, he should factor on the class reduction.
4th pick: #2 (Williston Dude) (6-1) - He's racing second back off a eight week break and drops to a new low while stretching out in distance. Five-year-old ran evenly going 6 furlongs Jan 5 for a $40K tag and I like that he's brought back on a quick turnaround.
