Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (VALHALLA) (6-5) - The morning line favorite, colt is racing first off a Linda Rice claim (a 27% winning angle). Formerly with Todd Pletcher, 3-year-old has early speed and breaks from the rail. $200K son of 'Trappe Shot' will be tough with a trouble free break.
2nd pick: #5 (Thirsty Actor) (8-1) - Well bred 3-year-old is working nicely for his first race since Jan. 29. He was competitive in his debut, but has run poorly in a pair since then following a claim. I think he's a factor in this spot.
3rd pick: #2 (Put the Boss Back) (12-1) - Another with rather poor form on view, he tired last out after chasing the early pace of a long gone winner. He's making back-to-back starts for the first time since the fall and may grab a share at a big price.
