Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (AMERICAS GUEST) (3-1) - He improved his position while racing wide here facing a bit tougher Jan 9. One-run type draws a much better post and trainer Dave Jacobson is dropping him under what he claimed him for Nov 29.
2nd pick: #2 (Chelios) (4-1) - Gelding is racing first off a Danny Gargan claim who is eight for his last 40 (20%) and a subsequent eight week freshening (25%). He brings him back at the claimed level and 5-year-old breaks from the rail. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Coacches Challenge) (5-2) - On the sidelines since late November, trainer Jay Servis is dropping him down in class and shortening him up in distance. He's won two of six, with one coming at this trip. $230K yearling purchase is racing for $25,000.
4th pick: #5 (Neverindicted) (20-1) - Longshot has some early speed and there's not a lot of visible pace signed on. He may hold down a minor award at a big price.
