Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (MONGOLIAN CHROME) (8-1) - Gelding moves way up in class in his first off a Joe Orseno claim. 4yo was an easy winner here going a mile for a $12.5K tag Feb. 3rd in his second back from a 2.5-month break. He cleared the 2l condition that afternoon and enters in career best form. He has a good chance at a big price.
2nd pick: #4 (Fancy Man) (9-2) - Lightly raced colt ships in from Tampa Bay Downs where he tired after setting a pressured pace Jan. 24th. It was his first since Oct. 2nd, and speed/stalker has races in his past that fit with this group.
3rd pick: #2 (Thundergram) (4-1) - Once classier type tired badly when facing tougher here on a sloppy surface Jan. 15th. It was his first since Oct. 23rd, and it may have been a conditioning run. Barn has worked him four times since, drops him to a new low, and removes his blinkers.
4th pick: #1 (Running Cat) (7-2) - Speedy sort won at this tag going six furlongs Jan. 6th. In his follow up start Jan. 28th, he tired very late to finish 3rd at this tag and trip. In shape, and his early speed makes him dangerous.
