Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (D'ROCKETMAN) (3-1) - He tired here at this tag and trip Feb. 1 after being bumped at the break. 5yo runs fresh off a claim by leading trainer Karl Broberg ( a 24% winning angle). He'll be setting a new record here soon for wins at this meet as he's already 100 for 331 (30%). Leading rider Tim Thornton is aboard and Broberg is adding blinkers (27%).

2nd pick: #2 (Disapproval) (4-1) - A lightly raced 4yo, he tired while wide in the Fair Grounds slop facing a bit tougher going 6 furlongs Feb. 18. He broke his maiden here at this distance Dec. 8 and moves from the 10-post to the 2-slot.

3rd pick: #1 (Smooth Colliery) (6-1) - This is start #9 in search of his second win, but most a.l have been facing tougher. He's been competitive in his latest pair since dropping down to this level, and he's a late threat from his ground-saving post.

4th pick: #8 (Theboyzhour) (12-1) - Longshot raced evenly here after being bumped at the break Feb. 1 in his first start since Aug. 8. He's dropping some weight and should move forward in his second back from just under a half-year's absence.
