Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (HOWLIN MAD SMITH) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, grey gelding rallied to finish second here at this tag going a mile Feb. 9. No-speed type is cutting back in distance and gets a slight edge. However, he is susceptible to someone stealing this sprint on the front end, so make sure you reverse your exactas for a few dollars.
2nd pick: #5 (Twas Nero) (4-1) - Colt has some early speed and has been competitive in there straight local starts at this claiming price. In shape and he should be in this from gate-to-wire.
3rd pick: #4 (High Mischief) (12-1) - Nice effort last out saw him fight it out from start to-finish while checking in third only a 'neck' behind 'Twas Nero.' His early speed is a plus and a repeat of his latest makes him a factor.
