Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (PLANET TRAILBLAZER) (5-2) - He's been freshened up since March 2 when he finished 2nd at this $12,500 price tag going a mile at Aqueduct. Brazilian import had won three in a row prior to that and his stalking style fits this contest.
2nd pick: #9 (Maimo) (8-1) - The main speed, he exits the same March 2 race as 'Planet Trailblazer'. He set a pressured pace before tiring to finish third, 5 lengths in back of that rival. 4yo has two of four at Belmont and is dangerous if the muddy track is favoring speed.
3rd pick: #5 (American Lincoln) (5-1) - He was a winner going a mile at Aqueduct for a $14,000 price tag March 16. Well bred colt cleared the 3l condition that afternoon and was claimed by Antonio Arriaga. He drops him a bit in price but hat's not surprising as he faces a much tougher group in this spot. Once promising son of 'Street Sense' is a win candidate at a square price.
4th pick: #8 (Papa Zulu) (7-2) - No-speed type has been idle since rallying to finish fourth facing tougher Feb. 28 at Laurel. 6yo runs off a private trainer change to Danny Gargan and he's won with 18 of 59 (32%) with new arrivals in 2018-19. A late threat.
