Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (STORM TEAM) (5-2) - Home bred ships from Gulfstream where he's finished second in two straight at this level. Stalker missed by a 1/2 length going five furlongs Feb. 26, then was beaten two lengths when traveling 7.5 furlongs March 25. Both horses that defeated him won again next out and this gelding gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #9 (El Talento) (3-1) - Home bred by 'Big Brown' has been on the sidelines since debuting July 30 at Saratoga. He finished a rallying third hat afternoon in a grass sprint and had some traffic issues down the stretch. In the Pletcher barn (31% second time out) and he wins at a 35% clip off of long absences. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #7 (Flyoff) (8-1) - Longshot broke slowly and raced evenly once in stride when debuting in a grass sprint at Gulfstream park March 17. $110,000 purchase has Jose Ortiz back on the re-ride and may be competitive at a square price.

4th pick: #6 (Wanztbwicked) (4-1) - $200,000 colt by 'Blame' finished a pacesetting second when debuting at this level in a dirt sprint March 11 at Aqueduct. Trainer Chad Brown (28% second time out) has worked him five times since and this colt should like the grass.
