Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (KNIGHT'S CROSS) (7-2) - Grey colt ships back from Golden Gate Fields where he tired badly while wide in the $100K El Camino Real Derby Feb. 16. Back on the grass and down in class, I like this one's chances
2nd pick: #6 (Contagion) (10-1) - A lightly raced colt, he's one of two entered by trainer Doug O'Neill. He was a gate-to-wire maiden winner here for a $20,000 tag Feb. 15 and was claimed that day by O'Neill. New barn wins at a sharp 35% rate following the trainer switch and he moves this $90K son of 'Fed Biz' to the grass while stretching him out in distance.
3rd pick: #9 (Dyf) (5-1) - Freshened up since Jan. 10, he rallied yo break his maiden by a 'neck' that afternoon sprinting on the dirt for a $50K price tag. He had shown good early speed in his previous pair on the grass and it's of note that leading rider Joel Rosario is back aboard after a one-race absence.
4th pick: #1 (Gleyber) (15-1) - Longshot has early speed and breaks from the rail. The 2nd of the O'Neill trained pair, believe he's capable of getting a share at a big price.
