Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (JAN'S RESERVE) (5-2) - Freshened up since Feb. 14, veteran finished third that day at this tag going 5.5 furlongs. He runs first off a Mike Puype claim (18%) and is stretching out to 7-furlongs. I give him a slight edge.

2nd pick: #2 (R Cha Cha) (4-1) - Speedy 5yo tired after setting a pressured pace going 6.5 furlongs here Feb. 15. Consistent sort races first off a Jorge Periban claim and has worked five times since the barn change. This field doesn't have much other speed and that makes this gelding a strong win candidate.

3rd pick: #3 (Sheer Flatery) (3-1) - He's dropping back down and shortening up a furlong after a poor effort facing tougher at a mile Marc 30. He had won two of three prior to that and all five career win have been local. In the mix.
