Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (SALUTOS AMIGOS) (5-2) - Multiple stakes winner ships back from Santa Anita where he finished second and third in a pair of 'graded' sprint stakes. One-run type is three-for-three on this inner surface and was an easy winner of this stakes a year ago. He should get a fast and/or contested pace to close into.
2nd pick: #5 (Dad's Caps) (4-1) - He's fast from the gate and has banked over $1M in sprints. He ran second to 'Salutos Amigos' a year ago in this race and has only made three starts since then. He tired last out in the local Toboggan Handicap (G3) Jan 30 and has worked well since.
3rd pick: #4 (Alex the Terror) (8-1) - Colt is in career best form and moves way up in class for this attempt. He defeated weaker here Feb 25 after a pair of even efforts in a pair of stakes. Can factor at a square price.
4th pick: #8 (Stallwalkin Dude) (5-1) - From the same barn (Dave Jacobson) as 'Salutos Amigos' and the pair race uncoupled. Freshened up since Dec 19, he's won 12 of 30 on the dirt and is 13-5-2-2 at this distance. Must be left in the mix.
