Top pick: #6 (GROSS MISCONDUCT) (6-5) - One of two entered by leading trainer Bob Diodoro, and the pair race uncoupled. Lightly raced 4yo is dropping in class after finishing second here facing allowance foes in both of those appearances. Speed/stalker meets a weak field and is the horse to beat.
2nd pick: #5 (Closet E) (9-2) - The second of the Diodoro runners, he's moving from turf to dirt and shortening up in distance. 4yo raced evenly following a slow start March 23 in his first since Dec. 14th. Capable on the dirt, and barn brings him back on short notice.
3rd pick: #2 (Full Consent) (7-2) - One run type raced evenly on March 7 and was 3-lengths back of 'Gross Misconduct' at the finish. Solid effort and this 5yo had some back class at one time. May grab a share with a bit of improvement.
