Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (IT BEHOOVES ME) (6-1) - Price play raced wide when finishing fourth of 10, beaten two lengths racing here at this level and distance April 2. He's moving to the rail and can win this down the stretch after saving ground until then.

2nd pick: #2 (Commander Lute) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, he was a seven-length wire-to-wire winner at this distance April 24 at Los Alamitos racing for a $12.5K tag. A career best, he's well bred and began his career in the Baffert barn. A strong win candidate in his first attempt at this 3l condition.

3rd pick: #6 (Native Ride) (5-2) - On the sidelines for just under a year, 5-year-old broke his maiden here at this distance when last in action. Working fast for his return and he's a major threat if ready.

4th pick: #5 (Saint Dermot) (7-2) - All of his success has been here 7-2-1-2, but he hasn't been the same since returning from several layoffs. One-run type may get a minor award with a late run, but one of the top three selections is much more likely to win this.
