Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #11 (ELENZEE) (3-1) - Colt ships up from the Fair Grounds where he was beaten a 'nose' going 8.5 furlongs on the grass facing 'open' special weight foes Jan 12. He tired on the main track there March 18 and is back on the turf and is in with fellow New York breds for the first time.

2nd pick: #5 (One Mo Chance) (6-1) - $250,000 son of 'Uncle Mo' raced both wide and evenly at this level going a mile on the Aqueduct main track April . Bred for the grass, he's making back-to-back starts for the first time and has Jose Ortiz aboard.

3rd pick: #2 (Whatstotalkabout) (7-2) - Away since early November, he missed by less than a length that day at this level going longer on the Aqueduct turf. Stalker has the rail, has run well here in the past, and Irad Ortiz Jr. is signed on.

4th pick: #4 (Dab) (12-1) - Colt showed early speed last summer/fall in a series of dirt sprints at this level. Bred to handle the turf, he's racing off a 6.5 month layoff. May grab a share at a big price if ready with his best.

5th pick: #10 (Uncle Tbone) (15-1) - He showed good early speed before tiring when debuting on the grass here last June. Sent to the sidelines until April 8, he ran evenly while checking in fourth at this level sprinting on the dirt. Longshot moves back to the turf, has blinkers added, and draws a fine outside post at this 7-furlong distance. May factor at a big price.
