Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (DATA ROOM) (8-5) - Colt has been freshened up for the past three months by trainer Chad Brown. $120K purchase has been competitive in two of three facing tougher and will be dropping into the claiming ranks for the first time. That's a strong 38% winning move by Brown and he's also adding blinkers (26%).

2nd pick: #6 (Tizfun) (6-1) - He's shipping in from Oaklawn Park where he missed by a 1/2 length on the dirt going 8.5 furlongs April 15. A career best it came first off a Bob Diodoro claim. Gelding is working fine and is bred to handle the turf which he's racing on for the first time.

3rd pick: #5 (Herecomesyourman) (4-1) - NEW gelding is dropping in class following a pair of even efforts on the Gulfstream turf facing a bit tougher. He's working very fast for his first since March 25 and it's noted that Irad Ortiz Jr. is aboard for the first time.

4th pick: #7 (Hello Holiday) (6-1) - Gelding is dropping in class, moving from dirt to grass, and is stretching out in distance. He raced evenly when debuting in a dirt sprint April 5 and he did so after hitting the gate at the break. He cost $285,000, so there were some expectations.
