Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (FLY FIRST CLASS ) (5-2) - $50K purchase set a quick and pressure pace and held gamely to finish a close up 3rd debuting here at this level going 6 furlongs Jan 15. He's worked three times since and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #1 (Mavericks) (6-1) - One of two entered by breeder/owner/trainer Bruce Headley, he dueled with 'Fly First Class' last out and would eventually finish 4 lengths in back of that rival. A career best, it was his first since Nov 11 and he breaks from the rail. Think he'll contend at a square price.
3rd pick: #6 (Coil Me Home) (5-1) - He had a rough trip between horses when finishing on even terms with 'Mavericks' when debuting Jan 15. God barn (Rich Baltas) has worked her three times since and he can factor with a better trip and normal 2nd out improvement.
4th pick: #7 (Coil to Strike) (5-1) - Debuting colt is working fast and trainer Bill Morey is having an outstanding meet ( 9 for 20 {45%}). Bred for speed and dangerous if ready.
