Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (HISTORIAN) (3-1) - Well bred 3yo is dropping into a claimer, is stretching out in distance, and does so with blinkers on. A WinStar home bred by 'Into Mischief', he enters off a very wide 4th place finish going 7 furlongs at Keeneland April 6. Think he's ready for a big effort.
2nd pick: #1 (Gentle Warrior) (5-2) - Colt recovered after being bumped at the break to finish 2nd at this distance April 14 at Keeneland for a $50K price tag. A career best, he has a ground saving post and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Proschema) (5-1) - Blinkers go on colt who is dropping into a claimer for the first time. He's had excuses in his last pair at the Fair Grounds facing tougher and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #5 (Makeamericagreat) (7-2) - Veteran maiden is racing 2nd back following a 5 month layoff. He raced evenly facing tougher on the Keeneland grass in his return April 13 and is dropping back down while moving to the dirt. He has good early speed and is dangerous if he gets an uncontested lead.
