Top pick: #1 (CALL ME LATER) - Gelding is one of two entered here by trainer Bob Diodoro and the pair will race as separate betting interests. 4-year-old Lal-bred has won two in a row here and is beautifully spotted this afternoon. Has the rail, the best early speed, and is the choice in a talented field.
2nd pick: #2 (Just Heat) - The second of the Diodoro pair, he rallied to win here facing cheaper in his first local appearance and first for the trainer. Stalker is brought back in 10 days for this, moves up in class, and is a win threat right back.
3rd pick: #6 (Trick of the North) - 11-year-old was a surprise winner here facing a small field (4) on Feb. 27 and that made him a perfect 2-for-2 since relocating from Hastings Park in British Columbia. He's won 16 times overall, so he knows how to get to the wire in front.
