Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (SAMMY WONDER STONE) (3-1) - Calif. bred gelding just failed here at this level in his local debut March 21. Three-year-old was involved every step following a stumbling start and is brought back quickly and is getting a rider upgrade. The top pick, but make sure you box your exactas with him.
2nd pick: #8 (Freakin Pistol) (4) - From the barn of leading trainer Bob Diodoro, this grey colt is making his debut. Bred for speed and early success, 3-year-old by 'Zensational' has a fine series of local works showing and Diodoro wins has won with 12 of 50 (24%) first-time starters over the past 15 months.
3rd pick: #2 (My Majesty) (5-1) - He just missed when debuting last Sept. going 3.5-furlongs at Hastings Park. Three of his last four local works are on the quick side and he's a threat at a square price if ready.
4th pick: #5 (Blackburn) (6-1) - Away since last August, Canadian bred finished a pace-pressing second that day going five furlongs at Assiniboia Downs. Working fast for his return, he's from an underrated barn (Don Schnell).
