Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (SARATOGA CHARLIE) (7-2) - Colt rallied to finish third of 12, beaten two lengths when debuting here at this level and distance Jan 30. Home bred had some traffic problems down the stretch and did well to recover. He's worked three times at Belmont since then, including a sharp half-mile breeze from the gate Feb 27.
2nd pick: #4 (Timber) (12-1) - One of seven making their debuts, gelding ships from Gulfstream where he was working both steadily and above average. Can factor and he'll be a big price.
3rd pick: #6 (Jet Black) (3-1) - He's finished third in three of his four starts and all have come this winter on this surface. Speed/stalker has had 'trouble' at the break several times and should be involved from start-to-finish. Win candidate.
4th pick: #9 (New York's Zip) (6-1) - NEW gelding is working fast for his first since Jan 9. He's been competitive in three of his four sprints and has been bet several times. Can impact at a square price.
