Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (BIG HANDSOME) (5-2) - Highly thought of by his connections last fall, colt has really come into his own since switching to the turf March 17 at Gulfstream Park.He was an impressive maiden winner that afternoon going 5-furlongs, then looked even better here April 30 when he scored in a 6-furlong non-conditioned allowance. $250K purchase draws a nice outside post for this 7-furlong stakes and he'll be very tough to beat.
2nd pick: #7 (Mongo Nation) (5-1) - Freshened up since March 23, he's won two in a row in 5-furlong sprints on the Gulfstream turf. Stalker has been working fast locally and enters of a career best figure last out. Dangerous if he handles the longer trip today.
3rd pick: #4 (Kitten's Cat) (4-1) - Stakes winner is cutting back in distance and drops down following a series of appearances in 'graded' stakes. He's won going shorter on the grass in the past and is a serious threat down the stretch.
