Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (IN EQUALITY) (4-1) - He's racing first off an Armando De la Cerda claim (26% angle) and a subsequent three month layoff. Working steadily, he's at the right price tag and has done well at this distance in the past 7-1-4-0. He gets a slight edge if ready.
2nd pick: #9 (Midnightonbroadway) (5-1) - He doubles up in price and is trying this 3l condition for the first time. He won here at this distance by almost 12 lengths Jan 26 for a $6,250 tag as he cleared the 2l level. Dangerous today.
3rd pick: #5 (Paden) (7-2) - Veteran is nicely spotted under the alternate condition of this contest. He rallied to finish second after 'rearing' at the break sprinting here for a $6,250 tag Jan. 28. Claimed that day by Pete Walder, he doubles him in price while stretching him out in distance. Must be left in the win mix.
4th pick: #4 (My Friend) (4-1) - In very poor form of late, trainer Mark Hennig is 5-for-14 (36%) at the meet drops him way down in price and is stretching him back out in distance. Tough call on this once classier type.
