Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (VEGAS ITCH) (9-5) - He chased and gamely held down the place spot when beaten a length here at this this claiming price going a 1/16th farther March 8. It was his first ever at this $20K tag, he meets a weak field, and should break his maiden from his inside post.
2nd pick: #5 (Williston Dude) (7-2) - He raced poorly as the favorite when finishing a distant 4th at this tag going 7 furlongs Feb. 18. It was his first of a Mark Glatt claim and he'll stretch him out in distance and has him dropping 10 lbs with apprentice Espinoza aboard.
3rd pick: #7 (Defense Minister) (4-1) - Lightly-raced and well bred, he's finished a distant third in both starts and has no early speed. May get a minor award, but he need to do better for anything more than that.
