Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (CLEAR SURPRISE) (5-2) - Improving 4-year-old set the pace and held to finish second here at this level and distance Feb. 16. A career best figure was earned and he gets a slight edge over the outside horse.
2nd pick: #9 (Stony Brook) (2-1) - Stretch-out sprinter is lightly-raced and end enters off a pair of back-to-back fourth place finishes sprinting here at this tag. He's caught off tracks in both of those and the last time he raced on a fast surface he missed by a 'neck.' A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (Hangry) (5-1) - The starts are beginning to mount for this 4-year-old. This is attempt #15 at getting his maiden win and he continues to race evenly. Gelding checked in third Feb. 16, but was 6.5 lengths in back of 'Clear Surprise.' May grab a minor award.
4th pick: #3 (Ben's Miracle) (15-1) - Longshot has no early speed, but based on performance he looks best of the est. Four-year-old by 'Uncle Mo' may sneak into the bottom of the tri and/or super at a big price.
