Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (ITALIAN BALLET) (7-2) - One of two making their debuts, this 4-year-old is working steadily here with the majority of his a.m. drills being above average. Bred for speed, he need not be anything special to factor first out against this field.
2nd pick: #1 (Fortyate Hi Points) (8-5) - He's shipping down from Golden Gate Fields where 4-year-old was last in action Jan 18. Gelding has a new trainer (Mike Talbot) and he's cutting him back in distance while switching him back to conventional dirt. A pair of sharp local works suggest he's ready to be competitive.
3rd pick: #4 (Tuck) (7-5) - Speedy sort has finished fourth in his last pair after being involved in pace duels. Four-year-old should be involved from start-to-finish against this crew.
4th pick: #2 (Supah Heat) (20-1) - Longshot has spent the entire meet facing tougher. He's taking a big drop in class, moves from turf to dirt, and is shortening up in distance. Can impact at a very big price.
