Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (LATEST CRAZE) (3-1) - On the sidelines since late August he's working sharply for his return. 4yo cost $260,000 back in 2014 and began his career in the barn of Bob Baffert. Competitive in three of his first four, he was claimed by Doug O'Neill for $30K July 3. He gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Mintenized) (7-2) - The morning line favorite, he's been competitive in three straight at this tag since being claimed by Jeff Metz Dec. 2. In shape, has the rail, and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Dixie Ballet) (4-1) - Away slowly when debuting here on a muddy surface Jan. 13, colt raced evenly once in stride. He received some betting support that afternoon and has worked three times since.
4th pick: #7 (Jackson Teller) (10-1) - Lightly raced 4yo was away slowly last out and checked in five lengths in back of 'Mintenized.' Stretch runner has worked twice since and draws a nice outside post for this distance.
