Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (MATERIALISTIC) (8-5) - Lightly-raced gelding rallied to miss by a 'neck' racing at this tag and trip at Los Alamitos April 15. Only his second start, it came following a two-moth freshening. He's worked since and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #6 (First to the Wire) (2-1) - Freshened up since March 20, lightly raced 3-year-old returns a NERW gelding. He's taking a big drop in class and trainer Mike Puype is adding blinkers. Win candidate in this small field.
3rd pick: #2 (Gavination) (7-2) - Four-year-old has fine early speed and breaks just off the rail. He ran third last out at Los Alamitos April 15 and was less than a length behind 'Materialistic.' He's worked well since and should be involved every step.
