Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (MATROOH) (9-2) - Old-timer was a five-length winner here at this $50K tag March 1, but missed by a 1/2-length in his follow up March 14. 10yo had a lot of traffic issues that day and should have won easily. I think he'll be tough with Dave Cohen back aloft after a one-race absence.
2nd pick: #2 (Kurilov) (7-2) - He won two in a row here facing similar types before a wide and even effort facing tougher April 3. Back down in class, this Chilean import is dangerous.
3rd pick: #8 (Super Dude) (6-1) - Consistent sort won here facing similar March 1, then tired in his follow up 20 days later facing tougher. He was put on the lead that day, but is clearly best used from a stalking spot. In the mix.
4th pick: #3 (Curlin Rules) (8-1) - He was six lengths in back of 'Matrooh' at this tag March 1 in his second back following a layoff. Working fast for this attempt, he can factor at a square price.
