Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (A RED TIE DAY) (6-1) - Old timer raced both wide and evenly here going a mile for a $50K tag March 29. Claimed that afternoon by Art Herbertson, he's won with an amazing 14 of 28 (50%) first off the claim over the past 14.5 months. Stalker moves way up in class, but has a ground saving post, and this field isn't very strong for a G3 stakes.
2nd pick: #4 (Lazzam) (5-1) - English import enters in very sharp form. Strong finisher has gone 12-3-6-2 during 2017-18, and he's a win candidate at a square price today.
3rd pick: #2 (Nessie) (8-5) - The morning line and probable favorite ships from Gulfstream Park where he finished closeup in a pair of 'Graded' stakes earlier this year. 5yo makes his West Coast debut and is an obvious win candidate at a short price.
