Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (BOURQUE) (2-1) - Bred for speed, he's from a strong trainer (Doug O'Neill) jockey (Mario Gutierrez) combination. Barn had him work a solid half-mile from the gate here May 9. Takes this if ready.
2nd pick: #7 (Zen Deputy) (5-1) - Home bred has a speedy pedigree and is from a very good barn (Bob Diodoro). Colt has a half-dozen short drills on view, including a solid three-furlong gate work here April 17.
3rd pick: #2 (High Class Taste) (4-1) - One of two with racing experience, he missed by a 1/2 length at Turf Paradise when debuting at this distance April 19. Colt breaks just off the rail and should be involved every step.
4th pick: #1 (Ninelives) (3-1) - Trainer John Brocklebank did well here last year at this time with his 2yos. This colt has the rail and has a fine speed rider (Edwin Maldonado) aboard.
