Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (NOT NOW RAND) (6-1) - Price play moves to the rail and drops to a new low in his second back from just under a four-month layoff. Favored in his return April 7 at Keeneland, he tired while wide on a deep and sloppy surface going 7 furlongs. He can win this with an alert begining.

2nd pick: #6 (Graysshootingstar) (10-1) - Blinkers go on colt who is dropping down, switching from grass to dirt, and is shortening up in distance. Competitive in two of three on the turf facing tougher, he's dangerous at a big price.

3rd pick: #7 (D Squared) (5-2) - The morning line and probable favorite, he's been unraced since early July. NEW gelding was competitive in four of five last year, is working fast, and is an obvious win candidate if ready.

4th pick: #5 (Freefall) (8-1) - Lightly raced, he tired badly April 7 at Keeneland going 8 1/2 furlongs on a sloppy surface facing tougher. He takes a big drop, shortens up, and should factor at a square price.
