Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (MANITOULIN) (5-1) - Like many entered in this 10-furlong grass contest, he's lightly raced and well bred. Colt ships from Keeneland where he finished 2nd of 12, beaten two lengths racing at this level going 8.5 furlongs April 22. A career best, it came following a two month break. He should like this longer distance and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #7 (Revved Up) (9-2) - Phipp's runner rallied to finish a fast-closing 3rd at this level going 8.5 furlongs at Aqueduct April 15. A career best, it was his first start since Oct. 3rd. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Rediscover) (7-2) - The probable favorite, he ships from Gulfstream Park where he ran 2nd going nine furlongs Feb. 26th. He's clearly much improved since switching the turf, and 4yo is a strong factor this afternoon.
4th pick: #9 (Ballivor) (3-1) - Speedy and lightly raced, he missed by a 1/2-length going nine furlongs on the Gulfstream turf April 2. He's facing older runners for the first time, but his early speed should have him involved from start-to-finish.
5th pick: #2 (War Bond) (10-1) - Away slowly in his debut he improved his position during the final 1/4 mile. Son of 'War Front' is stretching out in distance, has the rail, and trainer Chris Clement wins at an 18% rate second time out.
