Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (DAGGERPOINT) (5-2) - He's taking a big drop in class, and trainer Todd Pletcher has leading rider Irad Ortiz, Jr. on board for the first time. Stalker just missed for a $50K tag Jan. 15th and runs today for $30,000. The top pick.
2nd pick: #1 (Say No Maux) (2-1) - NEW gelding hasn't seen action since late Sept. He raced evenly on both dirt and turf facing tougher last year and returns today off a positive trainer change to Linda Rice (32% with new arrivals). She drops him in class, and home bred is a major threat if ready.
3rd pick: #7 (Snowfly) (5-1) - Maryland invader is dropping down a bit and is stretching out around two-turns for the first time. Stalker has checked in 4th in all three outings and should factor against this group.
4th pick: #2 (We Did) (8-1) - Another that's stretching out, he has some early speed, and races with blinkers off. There's not a lot of visible pace signed on, and that makes him a bit dangerous.
