Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (BAFFIN BAY) (5-2) - He's improved dramatically since joining the barn of Saffie Joseph Jr and switching to the grass. He's won two of three here since then and finished second in a small stakes in his lone loss. He's dropping in class, is perfectly spotted, and will be tough in this with his normal effort.
2nd pick: #8 (Dakota's Dude) (3-1) - A NEW gelding, he's been freshened up since finishing 3.5 lengths in back of 'Baffin Bay' here in a $60K stakes Jan 25. Gelding is from an excellent barn (Jay Servis) and this 3yo is dangerous today.
3rd pick: #1 (Tangible) (8-1) - One of two entered by trainer Tony Sano, he's finished behind 'Baffin Bay' in his last two starts. Consistent son of Derby winner 'Orb", he has a ground-saving post and is a late threat at a square price.
4th pick: #2 (Bad to the Core) (15-1) - French import is the other runner from the barn of Tony Sano. No-speed type has ability and a fast and/or contest pace would help his chances out.
