Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (NEVISIAN SKY) (4-1) - He's one of two making their debuts. Gelding by 'Sky Mesa' has some impressive works showing, including a bullet half-mile gate breeze at Belmont March 25. In the barn of Chad Brown (20% first out) and when teamed up with jockey Jose Ortiz the pair win at a 24% clip.
2nd pick: #10 (Jet Black) (8-1) - Competitive in all five starts, last out he missed by just under a length following a troubled break. In shape, and he draws a nice outside post for this 6.5 furlong distance.post
3rd pick: #11 (Mind Your Bisquits) (3-1) - The morning line favorite, he's been on the sidelines since Nov 14 when he finished a pace-chasing fourth here at this level going a mile. Competitive in all three sprints prior to that, home bred by 'Posse' finished second in his first pair at Saratoga, with one of those coming at this distance.
4th pick: #1 (Brooklyn Major) (10-1) - Speed/stalker has picked up his game since trainer Charlie Baker added Lasix two starts back. He's moving from the 12 post to the rail and he ran second from an inside post at this level Feb 20.
5th pick: #2 (Indian Soldier) (12-1) - Freshened up since Feb 20, he finished second that day after setting the early pace. Working well for his return, he may grab a minor award at a big price.
