Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (GATO DULCE) (6-5) - The morning line and probable heavy favorite, lightly-raced colt takes a huge drop in class in his second start back from a 13.5 month layoff. He tired following a poor start here in his return Jan. 14 and has since come back with a bullet three-furlong drill Feb. 4. He'll be very tough if his connections don't scratch him.
2nd pick: #7 (Big Bad John) (5-2) - Grey gelding has tired in his last four starts at this level. He had finished second in two straight prior to that, and against this weak group he's a factor from his good post for this distance.
3rd pick: #1 (Tremor's Code) (8-1) - He enters off an even effort here at this tag and trip. Four-year-old was 1.5 lengths better than 'Big Bad John,' but went past him when that rival an out of gas in the final furlong. Capable of getting a share of this.
4th pick: #6 (T's Place) (20-1) - Longshot drops in class and goes turf to dirt in his second back from a two month break. He's brought back in nine days for this and is making back-to-back starts for the first time. May get a minor award at a big price.
