Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (VIOLENT BEHAVIOR) (7-2) - Note: Today's final race has been taken 'off the turf' and switched to the main track. This colt has been competitive in four straight and has finished second in three of those while on the dirt. One-run type has positive wet track experience and gets top billing.
2nd pick: #5 (Palaleo) (5-1) - NEW gelding has early speed and is dropping down from an $80,000 tag to race for a $50K claiming price. Well backed here Jan. 11, he tired late to finish fourth of five after setting a pressured pace. In the mix.
3rd pick: #6 (Surprise Fashion) (6-1) - He's moving back to the main track in his first race since Jan. 1. Stretch runner has a positive experience on the dirt and it's noted that leading rider Joel Rosario stays aboard.
4th pick: #13 (Railman) (3-1) - An even-paced type, he finished a non-threatening fourth here at this tag on the grass Jan. 20. $115K purchase draws a fine outside post and may grab a share with a bit of improvement.
5th pick: #12 (Red Valor) (12-1) - He has some speed, is dropping to a new low, and he's capable of getting a slice of this at a big price,
