Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (JOYWAVE) (3-1) - Gelding rallied from close range to miss my a 1/2 length racing here at this tag and trip April 5. Well bred 4-year-old was racing second back from a nine week break and can win this with a small step forward.

2nd pick: #2 (Play Big) (5-1) - Once promising 4-year-old has been freshened up since Jan. 5 when he tired to finish fourth when racing at this claiming price and distance. Working fast, he has the rail, and expect him to be involved every step in this spot.

3rd pick: #11 (Correjon) (9-2) - Lightly-raced, he's dropping back down in this spot. He tired here April 5 when facing tougher, but had rallied to finish second when debuting at this level March 3. He has a fine post at this trip and must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #5 (Thirsty Actor) (10-1) - Gelding finished second at this tag going six furlongs March 24. It came following a two month break and 3yo can grab a share if it's repeatable.

5th pick: #4 (Put the Boss Back) (15-1) - Home bred pressed the pace before weakening to finish third, two lengths in back of 'Thirsty Actor' March 24. He's racing into shape and enters off a very sharp half-mile breeze April 10 at Belmont Park.
