Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (BIG EAST) (5-2) - The probable favorite, colt has finished second in two straight here at this tag going a mile. He has enough positional speed to stay close and win this turning for home.
2nd pick: #6 (Rob the Weezer) (6-1) - Longshot has some early speed and is dropping in class for his second back from a three month break. Working well for this attempt and home bred is a win candidate at a big price.
3rd pick: #7 (Only the Truth) (7-2) - Lightly-raced gelding rallied to check in third when debuting here Jan 1 at this level and distance. Raised up in class Feb 6, he tired badly while racing wide against tougher. The Rice barn drops him back down and he should factor in this spot.
4th pick: #3 (Southern Union) (8-1) - He's taking the big drop into claimers for the first time. He raced evenly in his first pair, but tired badly in his latest after being bumped heavily at the start.
