Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (BRIX) (3-1) - He's cutting back in distance following a pair where he tired very late after setting pressured paces in a pair of starts going a mile at this level. They were his first two back following 8.5-month layoff, and I like his chances.
2nd pick: #5 (A Man's Man) (5-2) - The probable favorite, he rallied to miss by just over a length here at this distance Jan. 31. A career best in three attempts, it was his first on the grass, and he's an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (Royal Aspiration) (8-1) - Longshot has early speed and is moving to the grass in his second back following a year's layoff. He's worked fast since, and trainer Jeff Mullins is having a very good meet (44-9-8-5, 20%). In the mix.
4th pick: #6 (Malakai Moxie) (8-1) - He tired here going a mile Feb. 8 and is another that's cutting back in distance. Working fast for this attempt, he's capable of getting a share at a big price.
