Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (GO PITA GO) (6-1) - Price play ships up from Gulfstream Park where he finished third of 13, beaten just under two lengths sprinting for 1/2 this price tag Feb 13. Claimed that day by Michelle Nevin ( 21% first off the claim) she stretches him out in distance and had him work a very sharp half-mile at Belmont Park March 30.
2nd pick: #9 (Touch of Paradise) (6-1) - No-speed type has been a maiden a long time, but has finished second and third in his last pair at this level racing on the dirt. Freshened up since Jan 22, he's a stretch threat to win this.
3rd pick: #5 (Shootout) (4-1) - One of two entered by trainer Mike Maker and the pair race uncoupled. Colt missed by a 1/2 length at this tag going a two-turn mile March 19. He has more early speed than most and Irad Ortiz Jr. is back aboard following a two-race absence.
4th pick: #7 (No Tanx Blue Chip) (5-1) - He enters off a career beat March 20. Racing at this level going a two-turn mile he rallied to check in second of seven, beaten a length. Must be left in the mix.
