Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (BAKELITE) (7-2) - Freshened up since Jan 12, NEW gelding runs off a private trainer change to Marc Vitali who is having a solid meet. He drops this lightly raced 3yo down to a new low and stalker has shown enough ability in his two grass races to win this.
2nd pick: #6 (Going to the Beach) (5-2) - The morning line and probable favorite, he's finished closeup in three straight here on the grass since dropping down to this claiming price. Gelding has enough positional speed to stay within range, Luis Saez stays aboard, and this Florida bred is a win candidate turning for home.
3rd pick: #3 (Soldat's Storm) (10-1) - He has absolutely no early speed but has made up considerable ground during the stretch run of his last three starts. Freshened up since Jan 9, he needs a fast/and or contested pace for anything more than a minor award
4th pick: #2 (America's Simmard) (15-1) - Longshot is lightly raced and enters off an even effort while extremely wide Feb 11. It was his first since Dec 21 and colt draws a much better post than he had hat afternoon. May get a share at a big price.
