Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #13 (MY MAN CHUCKLES) (7-2) - Like many entered, he's lightly raced and hasn't shown all that much. However, he has some speed, is taking a huge drop in class, and has his blinkers removed following a one race experiment. $100K purchase can take this with an alert break.
2nd pick: #12 (Autism Is Here) (4-1) - NEW gelding is working fast at Los Alamitos for his first since Jan. 21. He has early speed and is another taking a big drop in class. Spotted nicely and a win candidate in today's finale.
3rd pick: #4 (Liberty Jack) (3-1) - Gelding has been competitive in two straight here. Last out he finished 3rd at this tag and trip Feb. 24, and 3yo was claimed that afternoon by veteran Bill Morey. Trainer wins at an 18% clip off the claim, and he brings this one back on a quick turnaround. Must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #1 (First Class Boy) (8-1) - Veteran maiden has more experience (nine) than the top three picks, and he just missed at this level Feb. 11. However, in his follow up start he tired to finish 4th after being forced very wide. Has the rail and is a threat at a square price.
