Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (FISCHER KING) (7-5) - The probable favorite, he has the best early speed and has been competitive in four straight starts at the meet. Lightly-raced Calif. bred will be tough to beat on the front end.

2nd pick: #2 (Majestic C) (5-2) - He looks like the main danger to 'Fischer King'. Gelding rallied to finish third here at this tag going 6.5 furlongs April 3. It was his first race since late Sept. and a capable barn (Paul Treasure) brings him back quickly and has leading rider Scott Stevens back on the re-ride.

3rd pick: #5 (Smart Idea) (8-1) - Lightly-raced, he exits the same March 22 contest as 'Fischer King.' He was two-lengths back of him after chasing the early pace. Can factor, but really needs to step it up today.

4th pick: #1 (Youcancallmetruman) (8-1) - He has the rail and that's a plus in this abbreviated sprint (five furlongs). Colt continues to race evenly and is capable of getting a share by riding the rail.
