Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (WORTHY) (8-5) - One of two who broke their maidens last out, he did so in gate-to-wire fashion at this distance for a $20,000 claiming price Dec. 28. Nicely bred 4-year-old is conservatively spotted and think he can win right back.
2nd pick: #1 (Mob Posse) (7-2) - Lightly-raced 4-year-old scored an impressive 6.5 length maiden win here at this distance Dec. 29. Stalker has the rail, is well spotted, and with only five starts so far he has plenty of room for upside. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Wild Bandit) (8-1) - Away since Oct. 25, he's finished second in two of his last four all facing fellow state breds. One-run type is a stretch factor at a square price if ready.
4th pick: #4 (Confederate Yell) (5-1) - Stalker chased and held down the show spot facing state breds at this tag and trip Jan. 4. In very good form last summer, 4-year-old fits with his best and has a recency edge on 'Wild Bandit'.
