Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (BITTE) (2-1) - Once classier gelding missed by a 'head' here at this level and distance Feb. 1. It was his second back following several layoffs and his outside post will give this speed/stalkers apprentice rider some early options.
2nd pick: #4 (Private Marini) (9-5) - Very fast from the gate, he's won three of four starts here since returning from a 13.5-month layoff Nov. 23. The 6yo is an obvious win candidate as he moves up just a bit in price.
3rd pick: #3 (Could Be the One) (5-2) - He raced evenly when beaten 3 lengths here facing tough going a mile March 3. Another with back class, he's dropping to a new low while shortening up in distance. A late threat.
4th pick: #1 (Mirror Image) (6-1) - Veteran tired to finish 9 lengths behind 'Private Marini' here Feb. 10. It was his first start since Oct. 20 and he runs today fresh off a claim by Ari Herbertson ( a strong 26% wining angle). Speed/stalker has the rail, a quick recent work (March 7) and is in the mix at a square price.
