Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (GEE FORCE) (8-5) - Excellent debut saw gelding involved every step while beaten less than a length. Trainer Paul Treasure brings him back 12-days while raising him up a bit in class.
2nd pick: #1 (Excite Me) (8-1) - Longshot has been freshened up since Jan 17. He has some speed, is dropping to a new low, has the rail, and leading rider Stevens is aboard for the first time. 'Live' price play.
3rd pick: #6 (Keepin It Lucky) (10-1) - One of two entered by trainer Molly Pearson and the pair race uncoupled. Gelding just missed here going 6.5-furlongs Jan 20, but has raced poorly in a pair of follow up starts going a mile. Barn cuts him back in distance, but jockey abandons him after being aboard in five straight outings.
4th pick: #5 (Shot in the Dark) (6-1) - He was a 'winner' here Jan 9, but was disqualified several days later for a medication violation. He raced evenly facing a tougher field in his follow up race and is dropping back down for this attempt. A factor with his best.
