Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (FULL SALUTE) (3-1) - Veteran speed/stalker set a pressured pace before weakening to finish second to today's rival 'Morning Buzz' at this distance April 7 at Aqueduct. It was his second back off an eight week break and it earned him a career best figure. 5-year-old by 'Speightstown' gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #1 (Morning Buzz) (8-5) - Stalker has won five of his last six and scored by almost 2 lengths over 'Full Salute' April 7 at Aqueduct. Veteran is in career best shape and was an easy winner in a $70K sprint stakes March 31. An obvious win candidate.

3rd pick: #5 (Very Very Stella) (6-1) - Stretch runner raced evenly when beaten 7.5 lengths here going 6 furlongs facing tougher May 5. Capable of impacting late, he'll need a fast/and or contested pace for anything more than a minor award.
