Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (POWER NAP) (3-1) - He just failed last out racing at this tag & trip. Stalker was claimed that afternoon by Linda Rice for $50,000 and she's given him a almost 8-weeks of freshening. Barn wins at a 25% rate first off the claim and well bred 4yo gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #2 (Dance Champion) (2-1) - Lightly raced and speedy, he raced both wide & evenly here going 2-turns facing tougher Dec 12. It was his first back off almost a 4-month layoff and he probably needed the race. He's worked fast twice since, is dropping to a new low, shortens up in distance, and leading rider Irad Ortiz Jr. stays aboard.
3rd pick: #3 (Captain Moss) (8-1) - Speed/stalker won at this tag going 6.5-furlongs at Belmont Park Oct 15. He cleared the 2l condition that afternoon and has been competitive at this 3l level in both starts since then. Dangerous at a square price.
