Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (ADULATOR) (5-2) - Heavily bet when debuting at Gulfstream March 12, he hesitated at the break and had to rush up following that miscue. To his credit he rallied to check in fifth of 12, beaten just over five lengths. He's worked fast twice since and gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #7 (Dark as Midnight) (2-1) - Home bred by the solid 'Midnight Lute' chased and gamely held down the place spot when debuting here at this level and distance March 26. Bet down to 2-1 favoritism that day, he's an obvious contender in this spot.

3rd pick: #5 (Hot Squad) (6-1) - The field's most experienced maiden, he's gone 5-0-2-2 when racing in dirt sprints. Colt ran third last out and was almost three lengths behind 'Dark as Midnight' that afternoon. Can factor, but needs to do better.

4th pick: #3 (Unbridled Bull) (5-1) - One of four making their debuts, son of 'Unbridled's Song' cost $700,000 as a yearling and is in a good barn (Kiaran McLaughlin 21% first out). He breaks just off the rail and can factor if ready.
