Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (PARK RANGER) (7-2) - Lightly-raced and well bred he's stretching out in distance off an impressive maiden winner going six furlongs Feb 12. Stalker has room for upside and is brought back quickly (eight days) by trainer Dave Jacobson.
2nd pick: #5 (Mr Canada) (3-1) - Speed/stalker finished second here at this tag and trip Jan 9. He's been competitive in five straight racing on dirt and runs off a Michelle Nevin claim (a 21% winning angle). Working very fast and a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Hushhushmushmush) (5-1) - No-speed type has finished third in two straight at this level. In the barn of leading trainer Rudy Rodriguez, 5-year-old can factor but the top two selections are more likely to win this.
4th pick: #6 (Sound of Freedom) (7-2) - Stalker has been competitive has been competitive in five of his last six starts. He missed by a 'head' here Jan 30 in his first ever going two turns on the dirt. Must be left in the mix.
