Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (MANDATORY PAYOUT) (3-1) - NEW gelding races today with blinkers on. He rallied to finish third here going a mile for a $30K tag March 15 and was claimed that afternoon by Rob Atras 3-for-5 (60%) off the claim in 2018-19. He's worked him twice since and addition of the 'hood' should help him break a bit quicker.
2nd pick: #6 (Mental Model) (2-1) - A $130K gelding by 'Into Mischief' showed nothing when debuting here going a mile facing tougher Jan 13. Trainer Chad Brown (30% second-time out) drops him into a claimer (20%) and ads blinkers (33%) to this NEW gelding. Working above average and I almost made him the top choice.
3rd pick: #5 (Creative Style) (5-2) - Speed/stalker has been competitive in all four starts and enters off a 2nd place finish here at this tag and trip March 8. It was his first following a Rudy Rodriguez claim and he's the 3rd member of the win mix.
