Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (NOT NOW RAND) (2-1) - He finished a pace-setting second here at this tag and trip Dec. 11 in his first start since May 1. 4yo has worked a half-dozen times for this attempt and he'll be tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #5 (Four of Swords) (5-2) - A $365,000 son of 'Uncle Mo', he finished an even fourth here at this distance Jan. 5 racing for a $50K claiming price. He's worked four times since then and trainer Brian Lynch will halve him in price for this attempt. A win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Three Deep) (3-1) - Lightly raced 4yo is one of two entered by Jose Pinchin and the pair race as separate betting interests. Even paced in his first two starts facing tougher, he's dropping down a bit and it's of note that leading jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. stays aboard. In the mix.
