Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (FIREWATER JAKE) (3-1) - Colt broke his maiden at the Fair Grounds going a mile March 24 and has now been sharp in all three starts on the grass. The 3yo has done so from both on and off the pace and that versatility will negate his negative outside post. I think he can win right back.
2nd pick: #3 (Please Sit Down) (4-1) - He rallied strongly into a slow pace to break his maiden by almost 6 lengths at the Fair Grounds going a mile for a $30K tag March 9. Sharp in three straight, he runs today first off a Tom Amoss claim (a strong 34% angle). A win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Poppy Joe Rocks) (8-1) - Speedy sort finished second but was almost 6 lengths behind 'Please Sit Down' at the Fair Grounds March 9. In his follow up March 24, he broke his maiden sprinting 5.5 furlongs and the first time he was rated a bit off the pace. In the mix.
4th pick: #1 (Soulmate) (6-1) - Ramsey home bred ships from Turfway Park where he broke his maiden when debuting at a mile on the Tapeta surface for a $30K tag Dec 12. In his follow up there Jan. 3, he missed by a 'neck' at the same distance facing optional-$50,000 claimers/n1x foes. He's moving to the grass, is from a sharp barn (Wesley Ward) and John Velazquez is aboard.
