Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (MICOZZI) (6-5) - Gelding has a speed/stalking style and enters off a sharp effort here March 25. Racing at this level and distance, 4yo set a solid pace and was beaten a 'nose' in the last few strides. He gets a slight edge today.
2nd pick: #7 (Hatteras Bound) (7-2) - One of two entered by trainer Steve Klesaris, and the pair race uncoupled. Philly Park shipper has a fine outside post, a good record at this trip (5-1-2-2), and it's noted that Jose Ortiz is aboard.
3rd pick: #3 (One More Round) (8-1) - The second of the Steve Klesaris trained pair, this gelding broke his maiden here at this distance by 4.5 lengths for a $30,000 claiming price Nov. 22. Freshened up for two months following that score, he's been competitive in his last pair facing winners at Philly Park and may factor at a big price today.
4th pick: #2 (Full of Mine) (5-1) - Older gelding raced evenly when finishing 4.5 lengths in back of 'Micozzi' here at this level and distance March 25. Stretch runner is dangerous if a fast and/or contested pace were to develop.
