Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (JUDGE STANTON) (7-2) - A $120,000 New York bred, he ships from Aqueduct where he raced evenly in three starts facing state breds. He has a new trainer (Rich Baltas) and he drops him into a claimer, shortens him up, and has Javier Castellano aboard. I give him a slight edge.
2nd pick: #2 (Golden Tiger) (3-1) - This NEW gelding sold for $700,000 back in Sep of 2017 as a Keeneland Sales Yearling. Freshened up since Feb 16, he's had trouble in all three starts at the Fair Grounds facing tougher and should factor today on the big class drop.
3rd pick: #9 (Trashtalkinyankee) (8-1) - Lightly raced colt finished 2nd here at this tag and trip when last in action (Nov 23). Training steadily at Oaklawn Park, he's a win candidate if ready.
4th pick: #6 (Clipboard Money) (8-1) - Longshot has early speed and has been freshened up since Feb 6, I like his works and think he's capable of factoring at a big price.
