Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (SAMURAI WARRIOR) (5-2) - Lightly-raced 3-year-old is brought back in 11 days to face winners for the first time. He broke his maiden here going 6.5 furlongs for a $20K price tag April 5 in his first following a Dave Jacobson claim. Can win right back on the quick turn-around.
2nd pick: #6 (Port More) (3-1) - Colt has early speed and is stretching out following a fourth place finish March 24 facing slightly tougher. It was his first race in two months and he broke his maiden on the main track here Nov. 11. Draws a good post and is a win threat.
3rd pick: #2 (Don't Make It Easy) (7-2) - Consistent gelding makes his NYRA debut in this spot. He raced both wide and evenly when finishing third at this tag and trip at Philly Park March 20. He's the field's only two-time winner and is under the care of veteran trainer 'Ned' Allard.
4th pick: #4 (Discreet Encounter) (6-1) - Freshened up since Feb. 3, he's shortening up in distance in his first facing winners. Colt earned a career best figure that day and has picked up minor awards in the past sprinting.
