Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (HOLY MEISTER) (2-1) - He's been sharp in all four attempts and last out he was beaten just under a length going 9 furlongs here at this level Jan. 17. Grey gelding is racing 3rd back following a 5.5-month layoff, shortens up a furlong, and I give him a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Propensity) (7-2) - Speedy 4yo is stretching out in distance while racing on the grass for the first time. Competitive in his first three attempts sprinting, he tired here and was well beaten Feb. 5. Bred to handle the turf, he's working fast, has the rail, and leading rider Irad Ortiz Jr stays aboard.
3rd pick: #8 (Up and Onward) (4-1) - NEW gelding raced evenly here at this level going 7.5 furlongs Jan. 2. It was his first-ever on the grass, a positive attempt, and he's had a pair of above-average works since he was gelded Jan. 15. In the mix.
