Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (DOWNTOWNER) (7-5) - Lightly raced colt rallied while wide to finish 2nd at this level and distance March 19. Only his second start, it was his first since debuting here in a sprint Jan. 21 of 2017. From the Baffert barn, this $240,000 purchase will be tough in this spot.

2nd pick: #1 (Canadian Game) (9-2) - Expensive ($375,000) son of 'Curlin' has been freshened up since a troubled 3rd place finish at Oaklawn Park at this level Jan. 15. Stalker has run well here in the past, has the rail, and is dangerous at a square price.

3rd pick: #3 (Surfside Sunset) (8-1) - From the same barn (Doug O'Neill) as 'Canadian Game,' this gelding is racing first off a claim (27% angle from the trainer). Stalker moves back up in class, switches from turf to dirt, and stretches out in distance. Working fast, he's capable of impacting at a big price.
