Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (BOURBON WAR) (6-1) - He's won two of his three starts and looked sharp when winning here at this distance Jan. 18. $410,000 son of 'Tapit' has had less than ideal trips in all three starts and has shown a lot of 'grit' in each. He's one of three with a local win and I think he has a great shot at a square price.
2nd pick: #7 (Hidden Scroll) (3-1) - The 'horse of the moment', he won his debut by 14 lengths going a mile here on a very sloppy surface Jan. 26. He earned an incredible 104 figure and this son of 'Hard Spun' moves right into a G2 stakes.
3rd pick: #1 (Code of Honor) (6-1) - Price play raced evenly following a bumping incident when finishing fourth here in the one mile Mucho Macho Man Stakes Jan. 5. He showed a lot of ability in his previous pair, is working nicely at Payson Park, he has the rail, and John Velazquez is aboard.
4th pick: #2 (Epic Dreamer) (15-1) - Longshot has good early speed and enters off a pace-setting fourth-place finish here in the G2 Holy Bull Stakes at this distance Feb 2. Working fast since he's dangerous on the lead if left alone in the first 1/2 mile.
5th pick: #8 (Global Campaign) (8-1) - He's a perfect two-for-two with both wins coming here. Stalker won at this distance facing weaker Feb. 9 and has been under no pressure late in both easy scores. This $250,000 colt by 'Curlin' must be left in the mix.
