Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (PAPA TURF) (5-2) - Veteran finished 2nd at this $10K tag going 5.5 furlongs here Feb. 16 in his first start since Nov. 9. He runs first off a Peter Miller claim (28%), and he stretches him out to a distance he's won at in the past. He's fresh, draws well, and will be tough in this spot.

2nd pick: #2 (Burn Me Twice) (3-1) - Speedy 6yo set a pressured pace and held gamely to check in 3rd, only a 1/2-length behind 'Papa Turf' Feb. 16. Competitive in four of his last five, he should be involved from gate-to-wire.

3rd pick: #1 (Boy Howdy) (8-1) - Once a bit classier type, he broke slowly when finishing 4th, not far behind both 'Papa Turf' and 'Burn Me Twice' here Feb. 16. Veteran had races last fall that make him dangerous if he can get off without incident.
