Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (CONSUMERCONFIDENCE) (5-2) - Lightly raced colt has been freshened up by trainer Chad Brown since March 19. He finished a close up 4th after pace-setting effort going 8.5 furlongs at Gulfstream Park. Working nicely for his return, Brown shortens him up in distance, and has Irad Ortiz, Jr. back aboard following a one-race absence.
2nd pick: #5 (Mr Neetie) (7-2) - He's finished 4th in his first pair going a bit shorter. Latest effort here saw him chase while wide after breaking from a tough post (11th of 11). He's worked since, has a better starting slot, and the additional furlong he travels today is a plus. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #8 (Silent Mission) (6-1) - Speedy son of 'Scat Daddy' ships from Keeneland where he tired after rushing up following a poor break. He was facing winners that day and is back in with maidens this afternoon. Dangerous at a square price.
4th pick: #4 (Kettles On) (12-1) - $200,000 son of 'Giant's Causeway' raced wide and evenly in the same last race as 'Mr Neetie.' It was his first on the grass and a visible improvement over his dirt debut. May factor at long odds.
