Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (MILES OF HUMOR) (7-2) - Home bred by 'Distorted Humor' raced evenly following a troubled break when debuting here at this level and distance Jan 16. I like his work pattern leading up to this and trainer Ralph Nicks replaces Tyler Gaffalione with John Velazquez.
2nd pick: #5 (Eternal Bird) (3-1) - Whitney home bred by 'Tiznow' has early speed and has shown ability in both appearances. Three-year-old colt is making back-to-back starts for the first time and 'Hall of Famer' Nick Zito has Javier Castellano aboard. The two have teamed up very rarely in the past, so the jockey change is significant.
3rd pick: #6 (Blind Ruckus) (4-1) - He's moving up in class after finishing second here at this trip in a contest for fellow Florida breds. He's been competitive in three straight and is racing second back from a 3 1/2 month layoff. In the mix.
4th pick: #2 (Eklipsado) (6-1) - Colt has tired in his last pair and will need to do much better during the stretch run for anything more than a minor award.
