Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (APATOW) (8-5) - $350,000 son of 'Distorted Humor' runs today for a $50,000 claiming price. He finished a pace-chasing fourth here facing tougher on the grass Feb. 3 and this drop in class is a 29% winning move by trainer Todd Pletcher.
2nd pick: #1 (Agujero) (5-2) - He's finished second in three straight here and was beaten only a 'neck' at his tag going 8.5 furlongs Feb. 8. Stalker has the rail and leading jockey Luis Saez is back on the re-ride.
3rd pick: #2 (Peace Accord) (6-1) - He's shown steady improvement in his last three starts and last out finished third at this price tag. However, he was 3.5 lengths in back of 'Agujero' that afternoon so he needs to do a bit better in this spot.
4th pick: #7 (Rucksack) (12-1) - Another high-priced colt that's taking a big drop in class. This $280,000 son of 'Blame' is in a claimer for the first time and runs with blinkers on. His trainer (Nick Zito) is having a poor meet here but this long shot may grab a share at a big price.
