Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (BOB) (2-1) - NEW gelding finished a pacesetting second when debuting March 12 at Gulfstream racing at this distance for a $25K price tag. Well backed that day, trainer Tom Bush (22% second time out) moves him up in class, has him facing fellow New York breds, and Jose Ortiz is aboard at three-for-six (50%) when teamed up with Bush. Home bred 3-year-old will be tough in this spot.
2nd pick: #6 (Wondermeister) (4-1) - Colt has raced evenly in his first pair on the dirt facing tougher. Trainer Leah Gyarmati switchs him to the grass, drops him into a claimer, and has Irad Ortiz Jr, replacing Dylan Davis.
3rd pick: #4 (Circumnavigate) (8-1) - Lightly-raced 4-year-old moves up in class, switches from dirt to turf, and is stretching out in distance. Bred for the grass, he may grab a share at a big price
4th pick: #12 (Squeakers Shadow) (12-1) - Even-paced type draws a tough post this afternoon. He ran well enough late last year on the Gulfstream turf to get a share of this if able to avoid a wide trip.
