Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (LEFLORE COUNTY) (5-1) - He's moving way up in class following a maiden win at Oaklawn Park March 31. Four-year-old was an easy winner that day at this distance racing for a $12,500 price tag. Claimed that day by Chris Richard (22% off the claim), he doubles him up in price for this attempt.

2nd pick: #1 (Patriotic American) (5-2) - Lightly-raced colt is dropping in class and shortening up in distance. He finished a close up third when facing tougher going a mile April 9 at Oaklawn Park. Good effort was his first facing winners. He broke his maiden at this distance in his previous start and is the probable favorite in this contest.

3rd pick: #2 (Planet) (5-1) - He's dropping in class following an even effort facing a bit tougher at this distance April 20 at Keeneland. Consistent sort should factor at a square price.

4th pick: #6 (Kantune) (2-1) - Colt is racing third back off a 10.5 month layoff. Four-year-old tired April 16 at Keeneland facing tougher going a mile. Trainer Mark Casse drops him in class and is cutting him back in distance. Can impact with his best.
