Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (BORG) (4-1) - Expensive ($290,000) colt by 'Candy Ride' raced poorly here at this tag as the heavy favorite April 8. It was his first since Aug. 25 and he was claimed by Tim Yakteen. He's worked him since, brings him back quickly, and from a small sample new trainer has won with 2-of-3 (67%) fresh off the barn change.

2nd pick: #1 (Over Promised) (9-2) - Grey gelding raced between horses before rallying to check in fourth of eight, beaten almost 3 lengths racing here March 16. It was his first back from a 13 month layoff and he most likely needed the effort. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #3 (Captain N. Barron) (6-1) - Long shot tired here at this tag going 5.5 furlongs April 1. It was his first in a claimer, a positive effort, and trainer Craig Lewis replaces apprentice Espinoza with veteran Talamo.

4th pick: #2 (Lucky Sun) (5-2) - Speedy and lightly-raced grey gelding is dropping to a new low while shortening up in distance. He finished second here sprinting facing tougher Feb. 19 and is a win threat at a short price.
