Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (ALL DAY LAWN) (7-2) - Like most entered, she's lightly-raced and still has room for upside. She finished third sprinting here at this level Dec 20 and is attempting a two-turn distance for the first time. Trainer Danny Gargan has won with eight of his last 15 (53%) when stretching horses out in distance and that stat is too impressive to ignore.
2nd pick: #1 (Show Giant) (6-1) - Filly has shown fine early speed in both starts sprinting. She held down the show spot here racing for a $25K tag Jan 15. Claimed that day by Gary Contessa, he moves her up in class. Stretches her out in distance, and removes her blinkers. Dangerous at a square price.
3rd pick: #7 (Boomerang Becky) (5-2) - The probable favorite, 'Becky' has finished second in two straight when facing tougher. Stalker is dropping into a claimer for the first time and is an obvious win candidate at a short price.
4th pick: #5 (Chasin Outlaws) (15-1) - Another that's dropping down, trainer Jimmy Jerkens adds Lasix while stretching her out. This field isn't that strong and she may contend at a very big price.
