Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (ALAAPATIQUE) (5-1) - Price play enters off a close up third place finish racing at this level and distance March 24. He was involved from start-to-finish in what his first since Jan 8. Can take this wide open contest with a small step forward.

2nd pick: #7 (Afleet Martini) (5-2) - The morning line and probable favorite, he checked in third of nine, beaten three lengths when facing tougher Feb 18. It was only his third start back from an 11 month layoff and was his first in blinkers. Trainer Jay Servis drops him to a new low in class and 4-year-old is an obvious threat.

3rd pick: #2 (Brolic) (7-2) - Very lightly-raced 4-year-old is cutting back in distance in his first off a Dave Jacobson claim. Gelding missed by a 1/2 length at this claiming price going a mile on the inner-surface the day he changed barns (March 11). Dangerous in this spot.

4th pick: #5 (Too Wild to Repent) (8-1) - He had a troubled break last out but recovered to finish only a 1/2 length behind 'Alaapatique.' Colt had finished second in his previous pair and should factor again in this spot.
