Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (SUPER PSYCHE) (5-2) - Improving colt rallied while wide to miss by a 'neck' racing here at this level and distance Dec. 26th. "Hall of Famer' Bill Mott has worked him four times since, including a pair of quick half-mile breezes. Has the rail, and this stalker should get a good trip.
2nd pick: #3 (Kick Off) (3-1) - The morning line favorite, speedy 4yo by 'Bernardin' has been competitive in four straight at this level. He's finished 3rd in three straight and was only beaten by a 'head' when last in action (Nov. 26th). An obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Chomsky) (4-1) - Speed/stalker has run well in five of his last six. Latest effort saw him beaten by less than a length going a mile here at this level Jan. 15th. It's nice to see him stringing starts together, and this expensive ($300,000) 5yo must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #4 (Overawe) (8-1) - Colt hasn't raced since early August and runs off a negative barn switch. On the plus side, he's finished 2nd in three of five starts on the dirt, has early speed, and is working above average.
