Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (GAME BOY BENNY) (3-1) - 'Benny' was a one-length winner here at this distance for a $25,000 claiming tag Jan. 30. It came when blinkers were back on following a pair of dismal efforts without the hood and trainer George Weaver has him nicely spotted today in his first try at the 3l condition.
2nd pick: #7 (Zippy) (2-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, he's been competitive at the tag in three straight with the latest pair coming off a claim by Dave Fawkes. 5yo draws a good post for his speed/stalking style and is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Saint Larned) (6-1) - Latest effort going a mile facing tougher Feb. 22 is a 'toss' as he almost went down following a serious traffic incident. He was a 7 length winner in his previous start at that same distance facing similar types to today and a fast and/or contested pace would help his style out.
