Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (RIVER HOSS) (5-1) - He enters off an even third place finish at this level and distance Nov 27 at Del Mar. It was his first start in in almost 9 weeks and he's worked well since. 3yo gets a slight edge in a competitive contest.

2nd pick: #4 (Magic Taste) (9-2) - Gelding was a 1/2 length in front of 'River Hoss' last out at Del Mar. Stalker enters in career best form and is a serious threat from close range.

3rd pick: #2 (Foolish to Deceive) (5-1) - Very lightly-raced, he's the main speed and breaks just of the rail. 3yo moves from turf to dirt and shortens up in distance in his second following a Mike Mudaris claim. Working fast, he should be involved every step.

4th pick: #8 (Twirling Tiger) (4-1) - Away since March 17 he's racing first off a Tim Yakteen claim. Stakes placed earlier in is career, stalker is working steadily and is a threat if ready off the 9.5 month layoff.
