Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (GO BIG OR GO HOME) (5-2) - Lightly-raced 4-year-old drops way down in class for this attempt. Gelding by 'Ghostzapper' raced both wide and evenly facing high-end ($50,000) starter-allowance foes going 6 furlongs April 22 at Aqueduct. Stalker draws a nice outside post and he won his only previous appearance on a wet track.

2nd pick: #5 (Truly a Moon Shot) (2-1) - He's finished second in three of his last five starts and is racing first following a Rudy Rodriguez claim (a 28% winning angle). Four-year-old has checked in second in his last pair facing just a bit weaker and Rodriguez has Irad Ortiz Jr aboard for the first time.

3rd pick: #4 (Tale of Mist) (6-1) - Long shot drops back down, goes turf to dirt, and is shortening up in distance. He's been competitive in seven straight and on Feb. 17 at Aqueduct he finished second at this tag and distance.

4th pick: #6 (Wushu Warrior) (10-1) - The field's only 3-year-old moves up in class in his first facing winners. Home bred won by a 'nose' here going 6 furlongs facing $30K state bred claimers April 28 and earned him a figure that could land him a minor award at a big price.
