Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (CHIEF TIGER) (3-1) - Lightly raced, he's dropping down a bit after tiring here facing tougher going six furlongs. 3yo set a quick pace that day, and along with the drop he's shortening up an 1/8th of a mile. Gelding is the speed nearest the rail and gets the call.
2nd pick: #9 (Aikau) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, he's another with early speed, and he's tired late in all three starts while finishing 2nd twice and 3rd once. In shape, and this 5yo should be involved every step.
3rd pick: #5 (Warren My Boy) (6-1) - Away since Nov. 1st, he's been competitive in four of six starts since dropping down to this $20K claiming tag. 4yo has five published local drills showing for his return and can factor if ready.
4th pick: #11 (Sacrificial Action) (10-1) - On the also-eligible list, he needs one scratched in the ten-horse main-body to compete. Stalker would be moving way up in class, but has been competitive in seven of his twelve starts when racing on conventional dirt.
