Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (KLONDIKE CREEK) (3-1) - Home bred enters off a solid third place finish here at this level going 10 furlongs on the grass March 12. It was his second back from a three month layoff and was his first facing winners. Lightly-raced and well bred, 4-year-old looks set for a big race at this rarely run distance of 1 1/2 miles.

2nd pick: #5 (Oscar Dominguez) (5-2) - He rallied down the stretch to finish second a length in front of 'Klondke Creek' March 12. Irish import never gets tired so this 12 furlong distance is not an issues. A strong win candidate.

3rd pick: #4 (Conquest Sabre Cat) (4-1) - He's improved noticeably in his last pair since returning from a six month layoff Feb. 16. Gelding by 'Kitten's Joy' finished second to 'Klondike Creek' in his come-backer Feb. 16, then was a very easy maiden winner March 19 in his first with blinkers added. Dangerous.

4th pick: #6 (Prince of Arabia) (5-1) - Colt has finished second here in two straight at this level going shorter distances. Fits, but this race drew much tougher than he faced in his last pair and he'll need to do better.
