Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (SWELL) (2-1) - Claimed for $40K by Michelle Nevin last May, he did not race again until Dec 3. Stalker rallied to miss by a 1/2 length that afternoon in a strong return effort. Nicely spotted in this starter-allowance and he gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #6 (Cort) (6-1) - Very lightly raced, he's running today fresh off a re-claim by trainer George Weaver. 4yo tired badly in his return, but it was his first start in 10-months. Can contend today.
3rd pick: #1 (Roman Revival) (4-1) - Speedy sort has the rail and early speed. That combination should have him in this from gate-to-wire.
4th pick: #3 (Dreamsdocometrue) (5-2) - Stretch runner fits with these, but in this small field he'll need some pace help to make his late charge effective. In the mix.
