Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (YOU GOT IT) (3-1) - Improving 3yo has a speed/stalking style and runs for the hottest barn in North America (Rudy Rodriguez). Trainer has won with 30 of 88 starters (34%) at the meet, along with 19 2nd place finishes. This gelding draws a tough post, but has been sharp in two straight at this level. Can take this if able to avoid a wide journey.
2nd pick: #6 (Majority) (9-2) - Another who's improving, he was only a length behind 'You Got It' here Jan. 2nd. It was a career best, and gelding has done much better since being sent around two-turns.
3rd pick: #2 (Holdtherightcards) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, he's dropping into a claimer for the first time while racing second back from a seven-week freshening. He's been racing evenly facing tougher, and is a win candidate on the drop in class.
4th pick: #7 (Rob the Weezer) (5-1) - 'Rob' raced very wide while never involved when debuting in early November facing better. He's racing off a private trainer change to Dom Schettino. New barn drops him in class while adding both blinkers and Lasix.
