Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (VICTOR LOUNGE) (7-2) - Irish import has good early speed and catches a field without much visible pace. He finished a strong pace-setting 3rd at Gulfstream Feb. 9, then tired following a poor start there March 9. I like his chances.
2nd pick: #6 (Financial System) (2-1) - Trainer Chad Brown has almost been unbeatable at this meet in grass races. He sends out this debuting gelding off of a fine series of works and he has Irad Ortiz Jr aboard this $320,000 purchase.
3rd pick: #9 (Curlin's New Moon) (12-1) - Longshot has been racing evenly on the dirt and switches back to the grass for this attempt. He enters off a sharp half-mile work April 15 at Belmont and may grab a share at a big price.
4th pick: #2 (Huracan) (20-1) - Long time maiden has no early speed and is racing for the first time since Oct. 21. A small slice at a big price is this NEW gelding's ceiling.
