Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (DRAMA KING) (7-2) - He was never involved when favored at Aqueduct going seven furlongs on a muddy surface April 7. Four-year-old had won three in a row prior to that, including a $100K stakes at this distance Feb 15. He had trained well for his latest and may not have cared for the heavy 'off' going. Stalker has the rail and should get a fast and/or contested pace to close into.

2nd pick: #8 (Eye Luv Lulu) (4-1) - Veteran easily defeated Drama King' last out on a muddy track. It was his first back from a seven week freshening and this this very consistent 5-year-old is a major threat if he repeats the figure earned that day.

3rd pick: #5 (Loki's Vengeance) (3-1) - Hard-hitter chased and tired facing G3 'open' company in the Tom Fool Handicap March 12 sprinting on Aqueduct's inner surface. He won this stakes just under a year ago and he worked a bullet five furlongs here April 14.

4th pick: #2 (Weekend Hideway) (5-1) - When he's shape this veteran is capable of winning this. Unraced since Dec 19, 6-year-old was working fast at Gulfstream Park before shipping north. He has a flexible style, but was handled by 'Loki's Vengeance' in this stakes a year ago off a similar break.
