Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (SMART KNOWS SMART) (6-1) - Price play moves back to the grass after tiring at this level and distance in an 'off the turf' contest March 3. He's worked three times since, races without blinkers, and has a good shot at long odds.

2nd pick: #9 (Save Ground) (5-2) - Reddam home bred has been freshened up since finishing 2nd here at this level and distance on the grass Jan 14. Competitive in all four starts, he's an obvious strong win candidate.

3rd pick: #2 (Huddle) (5-1) - Well backed when debuting here going 6.5 furlongs on the grass Feb 17, he finished an even 3rd from a tough rail post in a large field (11). Trainer John Sadler has worked him four times this month and is stretching him out in distance. Dangerous today.

4th pick: #10 (Mavericks) (8-1) - Speedy gelding is racing on the grass and trying a two-turn distance both for the first time. Working fast, he has a shot on the lead at a very big price.
