Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (UNBRIDLED ROCKET) (7-2) - He raced wide and evenly here without threatening at this tag going six furlongs Feb 6. It was his first since Oct 11 and this stalker was competitive in four straight at that time.

2nd pick: #1 (Little Mustard) (3-1) - The slight morning line favorite, he rallied from close range to finish second here Feb 6. He was well in front of 'Unbridled Rocket' that day but has been racing steadily. Has the rail and is an obvious threat.

3rd pick: #3 (Mesa View) (5-1) - Very lightly-raced, he split 'Mustard' and 'Rocket' last out. Only his second start overall, he was bet that day and he's making back-to-back starts for the first time.

4th pick: #9 (Lucky Prospector) (12-1) - Longshot raced evenly and was only beaten five lengths when debuting here at this tag going 5.5 furlongs Jan 29. He's working above average since and gets an extra furlong to travel and a fine outside post to use it from.

5th pick: #5 (Skookum Spirit) (8-1) - One of two Tommy Town home breds entered, this one is working fine for his debut. Trainer Steve Miyadi won with a first-time-starter for this stable last week.
