Premium Pick

Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (ARCARO) (5-2) - He's one of four in this small field making their debuts. A Godolphin home bred by 'Tapit,' he's in the barn of Bob Baffert (34 of 67, 51%, first out in 2018-19), is working fast, and can win this if ready.

2nd pick: #5 (Beleth) (2-1) - One of two with racing experience, he rallied to finish 2nd when debuting here at this level going six furlongs March 29. A $250K son of 'Medaglia d'Oro,' he's worked five times since and is an obvious win candidate today.

3rd pick: #1 (Sly) (3-1) - The other maiden with experience, he finished a pace-chasing 2nd when debuting at this level going six furlongs on the Tapeta surface at Golden Gate Fields March 10. Heavily bet that day, trainer Rick Mandella switches him to conventional dirt, and he has Mike Smith aboard.
