Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (HEALY'S HOPE) (2-1) - This $240K son of 'Ghostzapper' was away slowly before rallying to finish second debuting here at this $32K tag and 6-furlong trip Jan. 15. From the barn of Todd Pletcher, 22% second-time out, he brings him back in 23 days for this attempt. The top selection, but make sure you box your bets in this contest.
2nd pick: #6 (Bomoseen) (4-1) - He's been idle since Dec. 14 when he was pulled up here after taking a bad step. Gelding had finished second at Monmouth in his previous attempt (Oct. 27) and is dropping into a claimer for the first time.
3rd pick: #5 (Lanse Mitan) (5-1) - Son of 'More Than Ready' tired after setting a quick and pressured pace on a sloppy track Jan. 4 at Tampa Bay Downs. It was his first since July 27 and he's dropping into a claimer and does with blinkers on, a 23% winning angle from trainer Rodolphe Brisset.
4th pick: #4 (Luxury Suite) (3-1) - Colt finished a distant third debuting here at this distance for a $50K tag Dec. 4. Claimed that day by Bob Falcon Jr, 3yo was never involved after being bumped heavily at the break going a mile Jan. 11. He's back sprinting, is in under the claimed price, and must be left in the mix.
