Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (H MAN) (3-1) - The in-form speed and he breaks from the rail. He's won two in a row in gate-to-wire fashion facing weaker but is in career best shape and 5-year-old holds a tactical vintage over the rest. The choice despite moving up in class.
2nd pick: #8 (Nevesian Sky) (5-2) - Very lightly-raced gelding has been on the sidelines since breaking his maiden on Aqueduct's inner-surface Jan 26. It was impressive score and 4-year-old is working well above average for the dangerous barn of Chad Brown.
3rd pick: #4 (Timber) (6-1) - Strong finisher moves in with fellow state breds after rallying to win facing high-end 'open' starter-allowance foes April 13. He likes wet tracks and will be finishing fast.
4th pick: #2 (Ransom Note) (4-1) - Another that's lightly raced, he's in the barn of Linda Rice 67 for 211 (32%) so far this year. Stalker has some early speed and may grab a share at a square price.
