Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (MCFLY) (7-2) - Gelding stretches out in distance in his first off an Armando De la Cerda claim (a 25% winning angle). Stretch runner rallied to finish third last put going 6 furlongs at this tag Feb. 9 and gets a very small edge.
2nd pick: #4 (Nauset Beach) (5-1) - Old timer tired here facing tougher Jan. 31 in his first start sine Feb. 22 of 2017. Seven-year-old would have had no trouble beating this group earlier in his career and is dangerous today.
3rd pick: #2 (Al Khor) (3-1) - Lightly-raced and speedy, he set a quick pace before tiring to finish third when facing tougher Jan. 31. He was well in front of 'Nauset Beach' that afternoon and is an obvious contender.
4th pick: #3 (Aces for John) (5-2) - Veteran is listed as the morning line favorite as he races first of an Aubrey Maragh claim. Six-year-old has sprint the vast majority at Gulfstream and has won three times at this distance. Must be left in the mix.
