Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (COPPER KING) (4-1) - He finished a troubled 4th here at this level and distance March 20. 4yo had traffic issues that afternoon, but had finished 2nd under similar conditions in his previous attempt (Feb. 27). $625,000 son of 'Medaglia d'Oro' gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #8 (Mo and Go) (6-1) - This son of 'Uncle Mo' raced evenly here when beaten by almost three lengths at this level going a mile Feb. 29. It was his first race in 2.5 months, and he should be much fitter and sharper for this assignment.
3rd pick: #5 (Wild Union) (7-2) - Colt has finished 2nd in four of five starts on the dirt and speed/stalker is in shape, draws well here, and has the solid combo of Brad Cox/Joe Talamo in his corner. In the mix.
4th pick: #4 (Aztec Empire) (4-1) - Lightly raced 4yo by 'Tapit' finished behind 'Copper King' here Feb. 27, but was ahead of him at the finish March 20. Blinkers go on, and he should factor in this spot.
