Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (DUQUESNE WHISTLE) (4-1) - Away since Dec 18, he tired that day after setting a quick pace going 6-furlongs. Trainer Linda Rice (42% 2nd time out) will stretch him out in distance (a 30% winning move). Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #2 (Zonic) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, he had a wide trip while finishing a close up third here at this level going a mile an 21. A career best it was his first in two months and first around two turns. $325K purchase races with blinkers on and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (My Boy Tate) (6-1) - Bred/owned/trained by Michelle Nevin, he raced very 'head strong' and greenly when finishing fourth in his debut Jan 20. He moves of the rail and is capable of impacting at a square price.
4th pick: #1 (Source Control) (7-2) - Blinkers are added and he races first of a claim by leading trainer Rudy Rodriguez. He wins at a 38% rate first of the barn change and is at 18% when adding the 'hood'.
