Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (SEA'S JOURNEY) (5-2) - Very sharp in three straight here at this level, 5yo speed/stalker missed by a 'head' here going 6 furlongs April 4. He travels an additional 1/16th of a mile and he was beaten a length in his previous start at today's distance. Home bred draws outside of the other pace types and that gives him an edge.

2nd pick: #3 (Pig Iron) (3-1) - A lightly raced 4yo he's been sharp in all three starts since coming off a 7 month layoff Jan 20. Last out he dueled for the lead an held gamely to check in 3rd, only 1.5 lengths behind 'Sea's Journey'. A win candidate.

3rd pick: #4 (Don'tteasethetiger) (5-1) - Blinkers go on longshot who is dropping into the claiming ranks for the first time. He's been bet in both starts facing tougher, has some early speed, and think he'll be competitive at a square price.

4th pick: #5 (Tak'in the Red Eye) (4-1) - 4yo raced evenly when finishing 4th here April 4. He was almost 4 lengths in back of 'Sea's Journey' and a bit more that 2 behind 'Pig Iron'. Not impossible.
