Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (NOT CHOPPED LIVER) (5-1) - He's making back-to-back starts for the first time, drops back down in class, and veteran Art Sherman ads blinkers. He raced evenly here for a $50K tag Feb. 2, but had just missed at this tag when debuting Nov. 11 at Del Mar. Has a good shot at a square price.
2nd pick: #1 (Cammy's Music) (6-1) - Speedy 3-year-old tired late to finish 5th of 13, beaten almost six lengths racing here at this level Feb. 3. It was his first since Nov. 27 and he's shortening up a bit while moving to the ra1l.
3rd pick: #14 (Bitte) (3-1) - Away since Oct. 10, grey colt is dropping into a claimer for the first time. He flashed good early speed in both starts facing tougher and is working fast for his return. Must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #13 (Runs Sweet) (10-1) - Longshot from the O'Neill barn has early speed and improved here Feb. 3 when making his second start. May grab a share at a very big price with a another move forward.
5th pick: #9 (Sleepin N Cheatin) (12-1) - Blinkers go on colt who tired to check in a distant fourth as the favorite Dec. 16 at Los Alamitos Race Course. He's another who may get a slice of this at a big price.
