Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (BOILER PLATE) (8-5) - He's finished 2nd in both starts at this meet after shipping here from Los Alamitos Race Course. Last out, he was beaten by a 'head' at this level going 5.5 furlongs Dec. 4, and he seems set for his maiden win today.

2nd pick: #2 (Beat the Heat) (7-2) - On the sidelines since Feb. 17, he finished 2nd that afternoon at Oaklawn Park facing $20K claimers on a sloppy surface. Working steadily here for his return, this Arizona-bred has been competitive in three of four locally in the past. A threat if ready.

3rd pick: #5 (Blank It) (9-2) - An uncoupled barn mate of 'Beat the Heat,' he finished 2nd here facing weaker Nov. 26. It was his first start since late January, and he must be left in the mix.
