Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (MINISTER'S GLORY) (3-1) - Improving gelding has the rail and enters off a 2nd place finish here at this level going a mile on the grass Jan. 27. Stalker has the rail, and Tommy Town home bred can win this if he handles the slop.
2nd pick: #7 (Smart Knows Smart) (5-2) - Speedy 3yo has main track experience and is working fast at Del Mar for this attempt. In the barn of leading trainer Peter Miller, this gelding is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Cool Your Jets) (6-1) - Away slowly when debuting at this level in a grass sprint Feb. 17, he made up a lot of ground to finish 4th. He's a late threat if able to stay within a reasonable range in the early stages.
4th pick: #8 (Shaymin) (9-2) - Another with early speed, he finished eight lengths behind 'Minister's Glory' on the grass Jan. 27. Working fine for this attempt, he can factor if able to avoid a wide trip in the initial half-mile.
