Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (PRIVATE ZONE) (2-1) - Former champion sprinter is training fast here for his first race since late November. He raced very rank that day in the G1 Cigar Mile and has been on the sidelines since. He's won three of four locally in the past and is more than capable at this six-furlong distance. Seven-year-old will surpass the $3,000,000 mark in earnings if successful in this spot.

2nd pick: #5 (Catalina Red) (5-2) - Vastly improved colt enters of a career best when he won The Churchill Downs Stakes (G2) going seven furlongs on the Kentucky Derby undercard. It was his first off a private trainer change to Jorge Navarro and this 4-year-old has been working very fast at Monmouth for this attempt. Win candidate.

3rd pick: #1 (Holy Boss) (6-1) - Veteran sprinter is racing third back from almost a 5.5 month layoff. He was 2.5-lengths behind 'Private Zone' last fall in the Breeders' Cup Sprint (G1), and last out was behind 'Catalina Red' by hat same margin. Has the rail and has a serious shot if able to rate off what should be a quick and/or contested pace.
