Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (OUTLAW) (7-2) - A $450,000 purchase, he hasn't panned out but is dropping to a new low, has sharp early speed, and has been competitive several times facing tougher. Well spotted by trainer Steve Miyadi and he gets top billing.
2nd pick: #10 (Mr Classical) (6-1) - Longshot is another well bred runner that never lived up to his breeding. A 5yo by 'Bernardini', he's been on the sidelines for 6.5 months. Training steadily, he drops down in class, and he's been competitive twice in the past at this distance facing much tougher.
3rd pick: #9 (Persuasive Cat) (10-1) - A lightly raced 4yo, he tired badly going 6.5 furlongs on a sloppy track facing $45K claimers Feb 14. He's breezed here four times this month with the latest a near bullet half-mile March 25. He drops to a new low and I think he'll factor at a big price.
4th pick: #5 (Why Not Us) (6-1) - From the Hollendorfer barn, he finished 2nd at this tag & trip Jan 12, but tired badly going a mile facing $50K claimers Feb 24. Back down in price, he must be left in the mix.
