Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (PYROTECHNICS) (8-5) - The probable favorite, he's gone 4-2-1-0 since coming to Turf Paradise from California. In his only poor local effort he lost all chance when he was crowed bumped hard at the break Jan 13. He missed by a length here at this level and distance Jan 19 and will be tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #4 (Jack No) (5-1) - Lightly-raced 5-year-old has a speed/stalking style and finished third of seven, beaten three lengths racing at this level Jan 13. Grey gelding has a flexible style and fits with his best.
3rd pick: #2 (Whoa Boy) (9-2) - Stalker was 2 1/2 in front of 'Jack No' last out and earned himself a career best figure. Can factor today if he doesn't fall too far behind going into the first turn.
4th pick: #3 (Absolut Honour) (10-1) - Long shot was 3 1/2 behind 'Pyrotechnics' last out after he pressed the pace until the head of the stretch. Capable of getting a share at a big price, but others are more likely to win this.
