Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (TOM'S GIFT) (7-5) - Colt is dropping in class after an even effort facing tougher Feb 19. That was his first facing winners following his maiden win racing for a $50K tag Jan 15. In the barn of leading trainer Rudy Rodriguez and he's the top selection.
2nd pick: #3 (Boilermaker) (8-1) - One of two entered by trainer Chris Englehart and the pair race uncoupled. He finished fifth of eight, beaten three lengths facing a bit tougher March 3. He bobbled at the break and was forced into a wide trip after that miscue. Gelding is dropping back down and Kendrick Carmouche is aboard for the first time.
3rd pick: #2 (Giggy Smooth) (12-1) - Longshot is the other runner from the Englehart barn. He has early speed, breaks just off the rail, has blinkers on, and is racing second back off a bit more than five month layoff. Can factor at a big price.
