Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (ROCKET FUEL) (5-2) - He tired while facing much tougher in a grass sprint here Jan. 13. It was his first since Nov. 26 when he was a winner going 6 furlongs at Del Mar facing 'open' $20,000 claimers. His latest was probably a prep for this and he'll be a handful for the others with his "A" game.
2nd pick: #3 (Matriculate) (3-1) - Gelding is racing off a re-claim by Bill Spawr after he lost him for one race. Stalker has done his best work here 1-3-3-1 and he's 6-2-2-1 at this distance.
3rd pick: #6 (Guy Code) (8-1) - Consistent veteran has finished second in 2-of-3 starts since being claimed by G F Almeida for $10,000 Sept. 24. It the second time with the trainer and he had success with him earlier in his career.
4th pick: #1 (Black Tie'n Tails) (5-1) - Speedy sort lost all chance when he bobbled at this break here facing tougher Jan. 7. He had been sharp during the fall in both starts after coming back from a 10.5 month layoff. He has the rail and must be left in the mix.
