Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (MOMENTS NOTIZ) (5-2) - Old timer is dropping to a new low following a pair of even 4th place finishes here facing tougher. He's won 19 of 43 starts on the dirt and was once a much classier horse. He still has enough to beat this group with his best.

2nd pick: #9 (Swiss Cheese) (6-1) - He's dropping just a bit and is stretching out in distance in his second back from a two-month break. Stalker draws a nice post for this distance and races with blinkers on.

3rd pick: #10 (Aikau) (5-1) - Speedy sort tries hard every time and is racing first off a Van Belvoir claim. He has a good post and can factor if he handles racing beyond six furlongs for the first time.

4th pick: #11 (Second Proposal) (10-1) - Longshot drops and stretches out following an even effort here Feb. 5. He was racing off a three-month break and was only two lengths in back of 'Swiss Cheese.'

5th pick: #5 (Celebrity Status) (6-1) - Another veteran, he's shortening up in distance after checking in a distant 2nd here at this tag going a mile Feb. 3. Capable at this trip (8-1-2-1), his connections have him making back-to-back starts for the first time since the early fall.
