Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (ZORICH) (10-1) - Lightly raced, he moves up in class following a solid 3rd place finish here at this distance for a $50,000 price tag April 7. It was his first since Jan. 1 when Mark Glatt claimed him for that same $50K tag. By far a career best in his latest, think he has a good shot at a big price.

2nd pick: #4 (T Bones Trick) (4-1) - A $150K son of 'Midnight Lute', he rallied to check in fourth of six, beaten almost two lengths when debuting here at this level and distance April 4. He's worked three times since and trainer Dave Hoffmans has won at a 23% rate second time out in 2018-19.

3rd pick: #9 (Proud Pedro) (3-1) - French import broke slowly but then rallied from far back to finish second here at this level and distance April 6. Only his second start, it was his first since debuting in his native land Sept. 22. An obvious contender.

4th pick: #2 (City Rage) (10-1) - Gelding raced evenly when finishing fourth of five when debuting here in a dirt sprint April 13. From the same barn (Mark Glatt) as 'Zorich', he switches him to the grass while stretching him out in distance.

5th pick: #3 (Nolde) (6-1) - Moss home bred switches to the grass after finishing a distant second at this level and distance on the dirt April 13. Bred for the surface change, he's in the mix.
