Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (HI HAPPY) (3-1) - Argentine import was an impressive winner going 12 furlongs March 31 at Gulfstream park in the Pan American Stakes (G2). It was his second back following a 10 month layoff and a big trainer change to Todd Pletcher. Speed/stalker won many of his native country's most important stakes and gets top billing in this $700,000 (G1) contest.

2nd pick: #9 (One Go All Go) (5-1) - Speed/stalker has been competitive in six straight with the lates five of those coming in G1 or G2 stakes. He finished second to 'Hi Happy' at Gulfstream March 31, then upset Keeneland's Elkhorn Stakes (G2) April 21. Six-year-old should be involved every step.

3rd pick: #6 (Call Provision) (9-2) - One of three entered by trainer Chad Brown and they race as separate betting interests. Strong finisher has been competitive in 9 straight starts and has been particularly sharp at this distance 5-3-2-0.

4th pick: #5 (Wake Forest) (6-1) - German bred was beaten a 'neck' going 9 furlongs when facing weaker April 13 at Aqueduct. It was his first start in 10 months and it may have been nothing more than a prep for this G1. Another from Chad Brown, this multiple stakes winner must be left in the mix.
