Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (SEA SHARK) (8-5) - An expensive ($310,000) son of 'Bernardini' is dropped into a claimer by trainer Todd Pletcher and that's a 49% winning move by him since the beginning of 2018. This colt missed by a 'head' here facing tougher Dec. 30 and has worked very fast at the Palm Beach Downs Center since then. He'll be hard to beat in this spot.
2nd pick: #5 (Clipboard Cajun) (6-1) - He's very fast from the gate and is cutting back in distance after finishing a pace-setting second here at this $50K tag and mile distance Jan 9. Colt was very 'headstrong' that afternoon and can factor today if a bit less 'keyed up.'
3rd pick: #3 (Quizzical Cajun) (5-2) - Florida bred moves in with 'open' company after missing by a 'head' at this tag & trip facing fellow state-bred foals Jan. 17. Competitive in three straight, this stalker is in the mix.
