Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (LONE PIONEER) (3-1) - He's one of two entered by trainer Rob Atras and the pair race uncoupled. A $250,000 gelding by 'Pioneer of the Nile', he's switching back to the dirt and dropping to a new low in price for this attempt. The last time he sprinted on the dirt he rallied to finish second at this distance facing a bit tougher March 2 at Aqueduct.
2nd pick: #6 (Mount Olympus) (5-2) - The morning line favorite, $110K son of 'Congrats' finished a pace-setting second at this tag going a mile April 11 at Aqueduct. It was a career best and 3yo has worked three times since for trainer Mike Maker. Barn shortens him up in distance and Jose Ortiz is back aboard following a two race absence.
3rd pick: #10 (Mandatory Payout) (9-2) - The second of the pair from trainer Rob Atras, he tired here facing $40K claimers going 8.5 furlongs May 3. Back on a quick turnaround, barn drops him down while cutting him back in distance.
