Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (ARE WE NOT MEN) (2-1) - He's one of two entered by trainer Rudy Rodriguez and the pair race uncoupled. This speed/stalker has been freshened up since Jan. 28 when he won a $16K claimer on the inner surface going a two-turn mile. Can take this if ready.
2nd pick: #6 (Banner Bill) (4-1) - Veteran has the best gate sped and draws a nice outside post at this one-turn mile to use it from. He finished a close up fourth March 18 on the inner surface and that gives him a recency edge on 'Are We Not Men.' A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #2 (The Catmancan) (7-2) - The second of the Rodriguez pair and he's been freshened up for just over two months. Fits with his best and 5-year-old has worked five times at Belmont Park since late February for his return.
