Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (OUR WILD DANCER) (9-5) - Grey gelding has finished second on five of his seven starts. Home bred ships in from New Orleans where he checked in second at the Fair Grounds Jan. 15. It was his first start in just under seven months and he should beat these with a clean break and trip.
2nd pick: #4 (Greeley's Dealer) (3-1) - Speedy 4-year-old has finished second in two straight here at this level and distance. Lightly-raced and improving, he's a danger to 'Our Wild Dancer' and has local experience.
3rd pick: #5 (Cheers to Berti) (5-1) - Away since Nov. 26, he finished second that day when making his debut for a $20K tag at the Fair Grounds. Claimed that day by Sam David, 4-year-old is a threat with any improvement whatsoever.
4th pick: #1 (Gentlemens Half) (6-1) - Another who was claimed first out, that came for a $20K tag here 11 months ago. He finished third that day and is working fast for his return. This race drew tough, so he'll need his very best off the long layoff.
