Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (FIN DE SEMAINE) (3-1) - With a pair of late scratches of the two probable favorites this gelding gets the nod. He finished second here at this tag and trip April 8 in his first since Feb 21. Trainer Patty Gallagher replaces apprentice Panicucci with Victor Espinoza, a sure sign that they like this one's chances.

2nd pick: #8 (Fashionably Handsome) (4-1) - Lightly-raced and speedy, he's dropping down to a new low in his first race since March 20. Competitive in both starts facing tougher, he's a serious win threat in this spot.

3rd pick: #6 (Quality Line) (12-1) - Longshot is racing second back off almost a 4.5 month layoff. He tired last out to finish fourth, while seven lengths behind 'Fin de Semaine.' Working fast since and can factor at a big price with some improvement.

4th pick: #3 (Legitimate) (8-1) - Stretch out sprinter is the speed nearest the rail and he's dropping down in class. Has a shot at a big price if left alone on the lead in the first half-mile.
