Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (QUALITY ON TAP) (7-2) - Stalking type has been competitive in all five starts and enters off a 3rd place finish at this tag & trip Jan 31. 3yo has a pair of recent above average half-mile works, draws well, and I give him a slight edge.
2nd pick: #8 (Shanghai Moon) (3-1) - The probable favorite, he moves back to the dirt after finishing 3rd going a mile on the grass for a $20K tag Jan 29. Colt had missed by a 'head' in his previous attempt on the dirt at 7 furlongs and is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Congrats That) (15-1) - Longshot has good early speed and has some sharp works showing for his first race since Jan 9. He finished far behind 'Shanghai Moon' that afternoon but his recent morning drills are too good to ignore.
4th pick: #7 (Roan Mountain) (10-1) - No speed type rallied into a very fast pace to break his maiden here at this distance for a $12.5K tag Feb 26. NEW gelding is capable of factoring at a big price if the pace is fast/and or contested.
