Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (DILLON ROCKS) (7-2) - He stalked, bid, then weakened late to finish behind a pair of today's rivals in 'Winning Factor' and 'Rags for Britches.' It was his first race since Nov. 16 and should be sharper in his second back off the 3.5-month layoff. 4yo runs first off a Jane Cibelli claim, and she's having her usual good meet (69-15-8-8, 22%).
2nd pick: #3 (Rags for Britches) (5-2) - This son of 'Union Rags' has been competitive in five straight attempts and has checked in 3rd in three straight here at or near today's $25K claiming price. The 4yo is an obvious contender.
3rd pick: #2 (Winning Factor) (3-1) - He's exchanged decisions with 'Rags for Britches' in his last pair and has been a much improved runner since shipping here from Finger Lakes and joining the barn of Herb Miller. Grey son of 'The Factor' has a ground saving post and must be left in the mix.
