Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (CAUSEFORCELEBRATION) (5-2) - The morning line and probable favorite, he's shortening up a furlong following a second place finish here at this level going 7 furlongs May 5. Stalker can win this with a slight move forward, but make sure you box your exactas and tris in this contest.
2nd pick: #1a (Cross Multiply) (8-1) - Long shot raced very wide when finishing 8 lengths behind 'Causeforcelebration' May 5. It was his first since Oct. 12 and colt most likely needed the effort. Can factor today at a square price.
3rd pick: #10 (Blue Pride) (6-1) - Home bred tired badly after setting a pressured pace when debuting against tougher going 8.5 furlongs at Aqueduct April 21. He's worked twice since and both half-mile breezes were well above average. Down in class and shortening up in distance, he should run much better in this spot.
4th pick: #4 (Wild William) (7-2) - One of three making their debuts, son of 'Freud' was prepared in Florida before shipping north. In a capable first out barn of Jorge Abreu (20%) colt need not be anything special to factor against this group.
5th pick: #8 (Freudian Analyst) (20-1) - Even-paced type may grab a share at a big price but believe a minor award is his ceiling.
