Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (FARLEY) (7-2) - The fields most experienced maiden has early speed and has finished second in two of his four grass starts. Colt tired after pressing a fast pace going a mile here March 12 in his first race since Oct 1. Trainer Doug O'Neill brings him back quickly and shortens him up in distance. $285,000 purcase gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #7 (Competing) (8-1) - Colt moves up in class, shortens up in distance, and is racing on the turf for the first time. He continues to work very fast and his early speed makes him dangerous at a big price.

3rd pick: #6 (Kopitar) (5-2) - The morning line and probable favorite, he rallied up the inside to finish third when debuting here at this level and distance March 2. It was a solid effort and grey colt received some betting support that afternoon.

4th pick: #5 (Pavelski) (5-1) - From the same barn (Phil D'Amato) as 'Kopitar, colt moves back o the grass while cutting back in yardage. His lone previous turf start was encouraging and he may grab a share at long odds.
