Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (WILL DANCER) (7-2) - He's facing winners after a gate-to-wire maiden victory here going a mile for a $20K tag Jan 5. It was his 2nd back following a 6-month layoff and this well-bred 4yo is conservatively spotted by Ed Truman. I like his chances.
2nd pick: #1 (Blue Skye Jade) (3-1) - He rated, bid, then tired facing tougher here going 9 furlongs on the grass Jan 18 in his first race in two months. Way down in class and back on the dirt, stalker is capable on the main track, has a ground-saving post, and is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (R B Eye) (4-1) - Grey gelding has finished 3rd in three straight at this level with the last pair of those coming on the dirt at this level. He has a stalking style, fits with his best, and must be left in the mix.
