Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (SANDY LANE) (9-2) - He's moving up in price after finishing 2nd at this distance and 3l condition for a $14,000 price tag March 16. Competitive in five of his last six starts, gelding by 'Awesome Again' gets a slight edge, but make sure you box your bets in this contest.
2nd pick: #8 (Flatexcel) (6-1) - Speedy sort missed by a 'neck' here sprinting for a $14K tag at this 3l condition March 17. Claimed that day by John Toscano, Jr., he moves him up in price while stretching this 4yo out in distance. He's finished 2nd twice in four starts at this trip and is a threat today at a square price.
3rd pick: #7 (Dooley) (5-1) - Even paced gelding finished a close up 4th at this level and distance Feb. 17, but regressed a bit last out under similar conditions on a sloppy track. He had the rail in that pair, and the move off the inside today is a plus.
4th pick: #9 (Starship Zeus) (12-1) - This longshot showed nothing here in the slop March 22 at this level and distance. However, it was his first race in almost two months, and this veteran has a fine overall record at this trip (16-2-3-4). His outside post is a plus, and he's capable of factoring with his best at a big price.
