Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (LIBERTY FIRST) (2-1) - He rallied while wide to finish 2nd here at this level going a mile Jan. 7th. It was his first following a Danny Gargan claim, and the additional 1/16th this son of "Pulpit" travels today is in his favor. Gets a slight edge, but make sure you reverse your exactas.
2nd pick: #3 (Pin and Win) (5-1) - Speed/stalker races off a positive trainer change to Michelle Nevin following a claim Jan. 7th. New barn wins at a 20% rate first off the claim, and she's freshened him up for just under six weeks. His early speed makes him dangerous against this group.
3rd pick: #2 (Kowboy Boots) (6-1) - Stalker is stretching back out after finishing 3rd in two of his last three local sprints. 5yo has run well at this trip in the past and breaks from the inside. A factor at a square price.
4th pick: #4 (Jumpin Frac Flash) (8-1) - He's been racing evenly for some time now, but showed an improved run last out. He rallied while wide to check in 3rd here Jan. 7th and was a length better than 'Pin and Win.' Fits with his best, but is racing first off a negative barn switch following a claim.
