Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (CASTLEDERG) (2-1) - He's taking a big drop in class in his first race since March 5. Stretch runner seems best when on the grass, but at this reduced level he can win on the dirt. Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #2 (Saint No More) (4-1) - Gelding has good positional speed and breaks just off the rail. Four-year-old has been competitive in five straight appearances, all a the Fair Grounds. A win candidate in Evangeline debut.
3rd pick: #5 (Sandana Heat) (8-1) - He raced evenly here facing just a bit tougher April 17. Four-year-old has good early speed and worked a sharp half-mile here April 30. Can factor at a big price.
