Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (R BOY EVENS) (5-1) - NEW gelding broke his maiden here at this distance Jan. 5 by just over 4 lengths and earned a figure that fits with this group and he has plenty of room for upside. Speed/stalker gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #10 (Wonder In) (2-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, he finished third here at this level and distance Jan 12, a contest where he recovered nicely after being bumped hard at the break. He runs first off a Dave Fawkes and the So. Florida regular has Javier Castellano back on the re-ride. A win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (Louie's Kingdom) (4-1) - Speedy 4yo tired late to finish fourth sprinting here on the dirt Dec. 29. It was his first start in two months and he runs today off a claim by Jorge Navarro. He switches him to the grass, shortens him up in distance, and this gelding by 'Animal Kingdom' must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #7 (Bourbon Currency) (5-1) - He's making his 11th attempt in search of his second win, but he's finished within range a number of times facing tougher. Away for almost a year, he's training steadily and may grab a share with a late rally.
