Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (SUPER DUPER COOPER) (5-2) - He's dropping back down in class after an even and wide fourth-place finish at this distance Feb. 1 in an entry-level allowance. 5yo had missed by a 1/2 length in his previous start and it's noted that trainer Mike McCarthy has Joel Rosario aboard for this attempt.

2nd pick: #2 (Ferguson) (2-1) - The morning line favorite (2-1), he's been on the sidelines since missing by a 1/2 length at this level and distance Nov. 16 at Del Mar. A lightly raced 5yo, he's working steadily for his return and is an obvious win candidate.

3rd pick: #3 (Treasure Hunter) (4-1) - Consistent sprinter is stretching out beyond 6.5 furlongs for only the second time. He's been very competitive at this $35,000 claiming price going shorter many times and he likes the local dirt 10-2-4-2.

4th pick: #1 (Hey Sequoia) (5-1) - No-speed type rallied to check in a non-threatening third here going 6.5 furlongs at this level Feb. 1. He has he rail, Flavien Prat aboard for the first time, and a fast and/or contested pace would aid his chances.
