Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (CHINESE BOB) (5-2) - 'Bob' ships in from the Fair Grounds where he tired in his last pair. Formerly with a top barn (Al Stall Jr.), this gelding has the best early speed and meets a weak field. 3yo will be tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #2 (Michael Forever) (4-1) - Lightly raced gelding enters off an even effort here at this level and distance Feb 2. A career best, it came in his second start back from almost a 4.5-month layoff. In a capable barn (Alex Beauville) and a threat in this spot.
3rd pick: #5 (Scott's Song) (3-1) - He raced evenly in the same Feb 2 contest as 'Michael Forever'. 3yo finished in front of that rival and earned a career best figure. Must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #4 (Triple Flash) (6-1) - Speedy colt missed by only a 'neck' here at this tag Dec 1. However, he's tired badly in a pair of follow up starts and will need to avoid an early duel with 'Chinese Bob' for any chance at success.
