Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (FENDER BENDER) (3-1) - Turf Paradise invader was competitive there in all four starts racing at their version of the special weight condition (optional $30K claimers). Speed/stalker has the rail, meets a weak field, and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #6 (Downside Up) (7-2) - Competitive in 9-of-16 starts, he's gone 8-0-2-3 locally. One-run type finished second at this level Dec. 17, then ran third at it March 30 off the 3.5 month layoff. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Fabrication) (8-1) - Even-paced type drops back down following a pair here facing $30K foes. Capable of getting a share with his best, at this point he would need to step it up for anything more than that.
4th pick: #5 (Tre) (6-1) - Another even paced type, 3-year-old drops to a new low and is shortening up in distance. Colt may get a minor award at a square price but that would appear to be his ceiling.
