Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (MUTARAAMY) (6-5) - The morning line favorite, NEW gelding by 'Tapit' hasn't raced since early April. He finished a close up third that day and this $500,000 4-year-old checked in second here at this level and distance when debuting last February. Working fast and he'll be tough if ready.
2nd pick: #4 (Pegasall) (5-1) - One of two making their debuts, colt has been in steady training here since late October. His last pair of drills are very fast and they include a half-mile bullet from the gate Jan 25.
3rd pick: #6 (Tapster) (9-2) - The field's most experienced maiden, this $220K son of 'Tapit' has proven a major disappointment. On the sidelines since Oct. 1, he's capable of impacting and has picked up minor awards in the past facing tougher groups than this.
