Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (KEEPING THE PEACE) (3-1) - Colt tired late to finish third when debuting here for a $50,000 claiming price Feb. 7. Bet down to even-money favoritism, he dueled through fast fractions and held well until the final furlong. Claimed that day by Juan Arias, he brings him back a month later and I give him a slight edge.
2nd pick: #3 (Dino Three O Nine) (5-2) - This 4yo was beaten a 'head' here for a $50K price tag Feb. 7. A career best, it came following a 3.5-month layoff and he's an obvious win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #4 (Jalen Journey) (9-2) - Blinkers go on 4yo who rallied to finish fourth when debuting Nov. 14. Florida bred lost all chance at the break when he was forced to the left and he runs today off a private trainer switch to Kate O'Connell, a 29% winning angle.
4th pick: #1 (Lennox) (10-1) - Well bred 4yo tired badly when debuting here Jan. 20 of 2018. NEW gelding is working fast, has the rail, and trainer Stanley Gold is adding Lasix. Longshot may factor at a big price if ready.
