Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (HIT THE SEAM) (10-1) - Longshot tired while wide racing here in an 'off the turf' contest at this level and distance March 24. It was his first start in 6 months and he most likely needed the race for conditioning purposes. Bred for the grass, Reddam home bred has a good shot at a big price.

2nd pick: #10 (Clem Dela Clem) (12-1) - Another long shot, home bred has been freshened up since tiring here at this level and distance Feb. 17. He dueled for the lead while between horses, held his spot until mid-stretch, and has some fine works showing for this attempt. .

3rd pick: #6 (Dreamer'sReality) (5-2) - Gelding rallied to check in third of 10, beaten almost 3 lengths when debuting here at this level and distance Jan 1. The 2nd place runner that afternoon broke his maiden next out and this 3-year-old is an obvious contender.

4th pick: #3 (Sir Eddie) (4-1) - Grey gelding tired in the same 'off the turf' contest as 'Hit the Seam' March 24. He finished almost 3 lengths in front of that rival and must be left in the mix.
