Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (EDGEMONT ROAD) (9-2) - He enters off a career best here March 21. Racing at this level and distance with blinkers on, he broke sharply, set a strong pace, then weakened in the final 1/16th to check in 2nd at odds of almost 40-1. Back on a 16 day turnaround, he has the rail and will be tough on the front end.

2nd pick: #7 (Major Attraction) (3-1) - Believe he'll go favored today after finishing 2nd when debuting at this level and distance at the Fair Grounds March 20. Barn (Wayne Catalano) is having a strong meet and this colt is an obvious contender.

3rd pick: #9 (Lemon and Diem) (5-1) - Debuting colt sold for $475,000 as a yearling back in August of 2018. One of two 3yos entered, he's working steadily, and trainer Steve Asmussen has won with 43 of 273 (16%) first-time-starters since Jan 1 of 2019.

4th pick: #6 (Derby Date) (4-1) - Once promising sort hasn't shown much in two starts since coming off a long layoff (14 months) Jan 25. However, he's working extremely fast and has was competitive against tough groups than this before the long absence. Tough call.
