Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (TOOHOTTOEVENSPEAK) (7-2) - Consistent gelding stretches out a furlong after missing by a 'head' here to today's rival 'Holding Aces' at this level going 6 furlongs May 4. Many of his best races have come at this 7 furlong trip and he gets a slight edge. The top selection but make sure you box your exactas in this contest.
2nd pick: #1 (Missle Bomb) (4-1) - Claimed by Brad Cox for $15,000 in late October at Keeneland, trainer immediately sent him in for almost an 8 week break. Well bred 5-year-old has won three-of-six since returning to action and scored here going 6.5 furlongs for a $14,000 tag April 27. He cleared the 3l condition that afternoon and is nicely spotted as he faces a much tougher field.
3rd pick: #4 (Major League) (5-2) - He rallied to win going 7 furlongs at Aqueduct April 22 facing $10,000 claiming foes. He showed much improved early speed that afternoon and is 2 for 3 on wet surfaces. Five-year-old must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #3 (Holding Aces) - He's been much improved over his last three starts following a Randi Persaud claim March 16. Stalker defeated 'Toohottoevenspeak' by a 'head' last out and is a threat if he holds his recent form.
