Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (PRESENCE OF MIND) (6-1) - Colt is bred for speed and had a bullet three furlong gate breeze here April 15. Barn (George weaver) is capable of having one ready first out and this son of 'Trappe Shot' can factor at a square price if ready.

2nd pick: #7 (Surprise Wonder) (6-5) - The morning line and obvious favorite, he's the only one entered who has started. He broke slowly as part of a heavily favored entry when debuting April 20 at Aqueduct and rallied to finish second to his 'much the best' barn mate. In the Pletcher barn (31% second time out) and he's 10-for-22 (45%) overall at this young meet.

3rd pick: #8 (Walk and Talk) (8-1) - Longshot is from a barn(Tom Morley) that has had some 2-year-old winners at big prices here over the past several years. Colt's latest workout was a bullet three furlongs here May 8 and that should ave him on edge. However, it's a must that he breaks sharply from his outside post in this abbreviated sprint (4.5 furlongs).
