Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (FU MANCHU) (5-2) - Nicely bred gelding enters off a close up third-place finish facing a bit tougher at the Fair Grounds March 17. Stalker ran second her last fall for a $30K tag at this distance and is dropping to a new low. He draws the ground-saving rail and should break his maiden.
2nd pick: #9 (Bellamy's Verdict) (4-1) - He finished a distant second April 14 at Keeneland going six furlongs for twice this claiming price. It was his first race in 15 months and his connections bring him back quickly, drop him down, and stretch him out in distance.
3rd pick: #5 (Keightley) (7-2) - He's lightly-raced and is from the same barn (Mike Maker) as 'Fu Manchu.' Gelding is dropping in class and is trying a two-turn trip for the first time. He showed some speed last out facing tougher and expect him to be competitive in this spot.
4th pick: #8 (Shotenough To Pop) (5-1) - NEW gelding has some speed and is racing off a two-month break. Trainer Kellyn Gorder drops him to a new low and this 3-year-old should show whatever he has with the changes.
