Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (RINSE AND REPEAT) (3-1) - He's racing first off a John Sadler claim and enters off a 2nd place finish at this level and distance Jan 19. Only his 2nd ever on the grass, he's worked twice since, and leading rider Joel Rosario gets aboard.
2nd pick: #3 (Kris' Wild Kat) (2-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, speedy and lightly raced 4yo finished a pace-setting 4th here at this distance for twice this price ($50K) Dec 30. He's dropping to a new low and is an obvious win candidate at a short price.
3rd pick: #6 (According to Buddy) (15-1) - Longshot pressed a quick and contested pace before weakening to finish almost 6 lengths behind 'Rinse and Repeat' here Jan 19. It was a useful effort and he's capable of impacting at a big price.
4th pick: #8 (Foray) (4-1) - From the same barn (John Sadler) as 'Rinse and Repeat', he hasn't raced for almost 28 months. 6yo has the ability, is working fast, but that long absence will be tough to over-come. That said, he's in a career soft spot and is a threat if ready.
