Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (SKYLER'S SCRAMJET) (7-2) - Grey gelding has won three in a row here and scored by 1.5 lengths going 6 furlongs in the G3 Tom Fool Handicap March 10. It earned him a huge figure and ran his local record to 4-for-5. Working fast and he has a good chance at a mild upset.

2nd pick: #2 (Army Mule) (6-5) - The morning line and probable heavy favorite, he ships from Gulfstream Park where he was a very impressive winner going 6 furlongs facing weaker Jan. 31. He completed the distance in a quick 1:08.80, is from the Pletcher barn, and is an obvious win candidate.

3rd pick: #11 (Awesome Slew) (4-1) - Away since finishing third at Del Mar Nov. 3 in the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile (G1), he ships from Florida where he's been working fast at the Palm Meadows Cnter. He's gone 4-1-3-0 at this distance in the past including a second place finish at it in the G1 Forego Stakes Aug. 26 at Saratoga. Dangerous if ready.

4th pick: #5 (Great Stuff) (10-1) - Veteran finished third, 4.5 lengths in back of 'Skyler's Scramjet' here in a G3 going 6 furlongs March 10. He won the G3 Toboggan Stakes here at this trip Jan. 27 and stretch runner is capable of getting a share.
