Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (INDULGENT) (3-1) - Stalker enters off a near miss to this afternoon's rival 'Highway Star' in the G3 Distaff Stakes going seven furlongs at Aqueduct April 9. It was her stakes debut and was her first back from a series of layoffs. Lightly raced and working fine, think she'll be involved every step.

2nd pick: #5 (Bar of Gold) (7-2) - A stakes winner many times over, all five career wins have come on 'off' tracks. New York bred rallied to finish fourth in a $100K stakes on the Aqueduct turf April 15 in her first race in 4 1/2 months. Probably nothing more than a prep for this and she's a strong factor today.

3rd pick: #1 (High Ridge Road) (2-1) - No-speed type is a perfect two-for-two on wet tracks. She's four for five at this distance and should be making up ground late.
