Peck: Tampa Bay Downs pick three play for Saturday, Jan. 19, 2019
The stakes races on the card are interesting, but I'm looking at a pick 3 on Saturday at Tampa that doesn’t contain any of them. Rather than spread too deep with ABC's I'll concentrate solely on the "A" plays, with a single in the middle pegged at 4-1 on the morning line:

RACE 4: CROWN OF JOY closed well in both of her starts at the meet, including a race on the turf two back. NICK'S ROSE is another who has shown good late foot in recent starts, especially her latest. SUGAR CANE GIRL was overmatched when last seen, but she should rebound today. BONITA SPRINGS is down in class and merits a long look based on her best Beyers.
RACE 5: Standing alone with MY BERNIE, who looked good running second in his latest. He should be set up well enough here, with a couple of speeds signed on, and he comes out of a better race than the best closers in this field.
RACE 6: DIGITAL AGE debuts for Chad Brown with solid works, and should come out running. I'll push the ticket a few times with him as a single but the broad play will also include fellow firster EONS, as well as the speedy FLUELLEN and Keeneland shipper DIPLOME.
