Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (BRAVEST) (7-2) - Gelding ships in from Penn National where he finished second at this claiming price going 5.5-furlongs Feb 6. It was his first start in exactly one year and he was bet down to 9-5 favoritism. He should move forward in his second back and it's noted that jockey Emilio Flores comes along with him.

2nd pick: #7 (What Quality) (6-1) - Lightly-raced and well bred, 4-year-old colt by 'Quality Road' comes in from Laurel where he finished third of seven, beaten 1 1/2 lengths going six furlongs at this price tag Feb 8. It was a solid race in his first since May 22. Home bred may have needed the start and is a threat to win this.

3rd pick: #6 (Wordplay) (10-1) - Longshot Has gone 13-0-4-3 sprinting on the dirt and is 5-0-1-2 locally. On the sidelines for the past three months, speed/stalker fits if ready and he's been competitive in two of three starts in the past at this short trip (five furlongs).

4th pick: #5 (G G Gio) (8-1) - Very quick from the gate, he's racing off almost a seven week break and is dropping into a claimer for the first time. The speed of the speed, he's dangerous if able to open up a clear early lead coming out of the turn.
