Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (TOO FAST TO PASS) (7-2) - Speedy veteran makes his east coast debut and first off a Bob Diodoro claim (a 25% winning angle). This 7-year-old is at a comfortable claiming price and he's five-for-eight at this middle-distance.
2nd pick: #2 (Rockford) (5-2) - Another hard-hitting veteran, he rallied to miss by a 'nose' at this distance April 22 at Aqueduct facing just a bit tougher. Six-year-old was racing of a seven week freshening and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Risetotheoccasion) (4-1) - Very busy over the past 15.5 months, this stalker has gone 20-4-7-5 over that span while winning his only previous start at Belmont last October. In top form at present, he's racing off a rare claim by Dom Schettino, two for his last nine (22%) off the barn switch.
4th pick: #8 (Saratoga Wildcat) (5-1) - He's with the barn of Rudy Rodriguez for the third time. Strong finisher has been freshened up since racing evenly going a mile in the mud in a minor stakes April 1 at Aqueduct. He draws a nice outside post for this distance and can factor if able to stay within range early on. Stretch threat.
