Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #12 (DERO D) (5-1) - Gelding enters off an even effort at this level Jan. 22. Four-year-old is racing third off a Jane Cibelli claim and draws a god post for his stalking style. Can win this with a small move forward.
2nd pick: #3 (Fifties Music) (9-2) - The main speed, he's dropping in half after tiring here for twice this tag at his distance Jan. 18. He's worked very fast since and is dangerous if he gets an easy early lead.
3rd pick: #5 (Menehune) (6-1) - Gelding has finished 3rd in two straight at this tag since his connections switched him from grass to dirt Dec. 31. Stalker should sit a good trip and have a nice spot to rally from turning for home.
4th pick: #11 (Thunder Afleet) (10-1) - Stretch runner has been competitive in four straight at this level. Three of those have been going a mile with one at this seven furlong distance. Must avoid a wide trip for anything more than a small slice.
