Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (ALWAYS NEVER) (9-2) - Very lightly raced, he's stretching out in distance in his second back off a 15 month layoff and does so with blinkers on. He weakened late sprinting here at this tag Dec 17 and looks set for a big effort.
2nd pick: #2 (Dream Police) (5-2) - The morning line favorite, he finished third here at this tag & trip Jan 2. It was his first in 9 months and he should move forward enough to be a win threat.
3rd pick: #1 (Championofjustice) (5-1) - Lightly raced, he set a quick and pressured pace before tiring to check in fourth, a 'nose' behind 'Dream Police' Jan 2. He has the rail, a solid recent work, and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #7 (Country Road) (6-1) - Recent maiden winner has a good closing kick. Clearly improving, he's dangerous if the pace is fast/and or contested.
