Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (BAREFOOT ANGEL) (2-1) - This stalker has finished 2nd in three of his last four at this level. The latest came here going six furlongs April 28, and it earned him a career best figure. He has the rail, positive 'off' track experience, and Jose Ortiz is aboard for the first time. 4yo gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #7 (Guy American Dream) (7-2) - He pressed the pace while wide in the same April 28 contest as 'Barefoot Angel' and stayed on gamely to finish a long 'neck' behind that rival. Lightly raced 3yo draws a fine post for his style and is a serious player in this spot.
3rd pick: #3 (Can'tweallgetalong) (5-1) - Longshot raced both wide and evenly here going seven furlongs on the grass facing tougher May 5. Competitive sprinting on the dirt in his previous pair, this colt has a shot if the pace is fast and/or contested.
4th pick: #5 (There Goes Jose) (8-1) - NEW gelding showed nothing when debuting at Aqueduct April 11 facing tougher. 3yo was a bit nervous that day and did not want to enter the gate. Trainer Bob Diodoro wins at a 33% rate second time out, and he has his 'go to' rider Dave Cohen aboard. Home bred may get a minor award at a big price.
