Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (ROTH) (8-1) - Longshot hasn't raced since Dec 18 at Los Alamitos where he tired badly facing much tougher. 4-year-old has a new trainer, Ed Kereluk, who is 26% with new arrivals, and he has him working above average and drops him way down in class for his local debut.
2nd pick: #10 (Jacksbacktoattack) (10-1) - Calif bred raced both wide and evenly while never involved debuting here at this level going 5.5-furlongs Jan 19. He's worked above average since and draws a fine outside post as he stretches out a furlong.
3rd pick: #8 (Mokhandoit) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, he's dropping down to a new low and is shortening back up in distance. Speed/stalker should be involved from gate-to-wire and is a strong win candidate at a short price.
4th pick: #2 (Champs Law) (10-1) - Another Calif bred, he raced evenly while very wide here Jan 25. It was his second back from a 2 1/2 month break and appears headed in the right direction.
