Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (ARAQEEL) (8-5) - Grey gelding ships in from Kentucky where he rallied strongly to finish second of 12, beaten a 1/2 length facing similar types going nine furlongs at Keeneland April 8. Long winded type is lightly-raced and should enjoy the additional furlong of this contest.
2nd pick: #6 (Gold Shield) (3-1) - Colt cost an even $1,000,000 back in 2013. Son of 'Medaglia d'Oro' raced evenly at this level going 8.5 furlongs at Gulfstream Park April 2. It was his first start in 10 months and first ever on the grass. Working well for this attempt and he should be involved from gate-to-wire.
3rd pick: #5 (Birchwood Road) (15-1) - Veteran ran evenly going nine furlongs on the Aqueduct turf in an entry-level allowance April 15. A useful effort, it was his first start in 3.5-months. New York bred fits on figures and is s stretch threat with his best.
