Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (LIGHT THE POSSE) (5-1) - Stretch runner was extremely wide when finishing a distant third here at this level going 6 furlongs March 17. It was his second back after a four month layoff and he worked very fast April 7 and the additional 1/6th he travels along with a better post gives him a slight edge.
2nd pick: #3 (Bassman Dave) (5-2) - The probable favorite, 'Dave' finished a distant second when debuting in a small field (5) going 5.5 furlongs March 24. He earned a god figure and is an obvious win candidate at a short price.
3rd pick: #2 (Apex Predator) (8-1) - Longshot broke poorly then tired after rushing up to be near the pace when debuting here March 17. A $250K purchase, he was 5.5 lengths behind 'Light the Posse' that afternoon and should factor with normal second-out improvement.
4th pick: #6 (Mr Mims) (9-2) - A debuting son of the versatile 'Teufelsberg' is from the barn of Rudy Rodriguez and colt has been in steady training locally since Jan. 16.
