Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (KING SNIPER) (3-1) - Even-paced type has been competitive in three straight and is stretching back out in distance. His best in six start came at this distance Dec. 13 and gelding can win this with a repeat of that effort.
2nd pick: #4 (Black Justice) (5-1) - Speedy 4-year-old has gone 9-0-3-3 so far and is stretching out for only the second time. He held to check in third after setting a pressured pace at this level and distance Nov. 2 and he should be involved from gate-to-wire at a square price in this spot.
3rd pick: #6 (My Book) (4-1) - On the sidelines since Dec. 30, he finished fourth at this level and distance here Nov. 22. In his follow up before the break he finished a pace-chasing fifth, going a mile against 'open' company. Back in with La. breds, he must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #7 (Reddy to Bet) (5-2) - Very lightly-raced 4-year-old, stretches out in distance after finishing a distant second here at this level going 5 furlongs Jan. 31. He's a threat, but is the probable favorite and holds no big edge.
