Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (BIG GUY IAN) (2-1) - He's the main speed and is dropping down in class for the Rudy Rodriguez barn. Veteran gelding tired in a $70K sprint stakes March 31 at Aqueduct and runs today off a 5 week freshening. He gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #8 (Cause for Surprise) (5-1) - Veteran moves back up in class after winning by a 'neck' April 8 at Aqueduct for a $16K tag. State bred has run well here (4-2-1-1) in the past and stalker should get a solid pace picture to rally into. Five-year-old can factor if able to avoid a wide trip.
3rd pick: #5 (Too Fast to Pass) (7-2) - A 14-time winner he enters off a pace-setting second place finish in a small sprint stakes at Aqueduct March 31. It was his first following a Gary Contessa claim and he had won for a $10,000 price tag the day he changed barns. Must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #4 (Will Did It) (10-1) - Stretch runner showed little last out when finishing far back of 'Big Boy Ian' at Aqueduct March 31. He's capable of getting a minor award but at this stage that would appear to be his ceiling.
