Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (READY DANCER) (2-1) - He's doubling up in price after finishing second here for a $25K price tag Jan. 21. It was his second back from a 2.5 month layoff and he was claimed that afternoon by Linda Rice. New trainer is having a solid meet at 17-for-76 (22%) and she's winning at a 26% rate first off a claim over the past 13.5 months.
2nd pick: #1 (We Did) (4-1) - The main speed, he's stretching out in distance and does so from the rail. Four-year-old has finished fourth in his last pair sprinting and is a strong threat to take this group from start-to-finish on the lead.
3rd pick: #6 (Motown Sound) (6-1) - Well bred colt has been competitive in four straight. He was a winner here for a $25K tag at this distance Jan. 22. He cleared the 2l condition that day and is doubled up in price in his first off a Ray Handal claim.
4th pick: #7 (Ro Bear) (4-1) - New York bred has been freshened up since checking in fourth here Dec. 31 in an entry-level allowance for fellow state breds. He has enough speed to stay within range from his outside post, but must avoid a wide trip.
