Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (CONQUEROR) (7-2) - $350,000 4yo by 'Malibu Moon' has been gelded since he last raced in June of 2016. Training steadily locally, he has a new trainer Vlad Cerin) and he drops him into a claimer for the first time. Can take this if ready.

2nd pick: #5 (Street to Indy) (5-2) - The morning line favorite, he's dropping in class and switching from dirt to turf. He finished a pace-chasing second here facing tougher at this level and distance Feb 26 in a contest that was moved 'of the turf'. Dangerous today.

3rd pick: #3 (Ral Rue) (15-1) - NEW gelding has some early speed and is moving up in class while going dirt to grass. He has races in his past on the turf that make him a threat at a big price if repeatable.

4th pick: #8 (Smuggler Union) (4-1) - His career began well back in the fall of 2014, but he went in for a 23-month layoff at that time. He's shown some early speed in two of three on the dirt since returning and he just missed at Del Mar on Nov 7 of 2014 in his only previous grass start.
