Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (JUST AFLEET) (5-2) - Colt finished second here at this level and distance Feb 27. It was his first in blinkers and he's worked well since. An $80,000 purchase, he has a flexible running style and gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #10 (Dave Goes Bananas) (5-1) - Speedy sort has finished close in two straight at this level going a 1/16th farther. He has enough early speed to not let this outside post hurt his chances, In fact he ran second from the nine-slot Feb 6. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #9 (Investigator) (12-1) - Longshot cost $170,000 as a yearling back in 2014. He hasn't shown a lot in either start, but they were both going shorter in large fields. A sharp half-mile breeze March 19 and the presence of leading rider Jose Ortiz hint that better is coming.

4th pick: #2 (Feets of Strength) (8-1) - Another longshot, stretch out sprinter has early speed and is breaking just off the rail. May lead them a long ways at a very big price.

5th pick: #4 (Croke Park) (12-1) - Son of 'Dublin' tired while finishing a distant fourth here at this condition going six furlongs Feb 20. Trainer Mike Maker wins at a 21% on the stretch out angle and this is yet another who may improve at long odds.
