Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (HIS GIANT) (5-2) - He was a winner at this distance for a $16K tag at Oaklawn on March 29 as he cleared the 2l condition. Speed/stalker has improved since being claimed by Tom Amoss in early November, and he has him nicely spotted in his first attempt at today's 3l level.

2nd pick: #5 (Jersey Agenda) (6-1) - Lightly raced and once promising, this colt drops way down in class for this attempt. Speedy sort has tired in three starts facing much tougher since coming off a 9.5-month layoff Jan. 26, and I think he'll factor from gate-to-wire in his first ever in a straight claimer.

3rd pick: #4 (Feeling It) (9-2) - He was a sharp three-length winner at this tag and trip March 22 at Oaklawn. I thought he received an indecisive ride in his follow up there for a $16K tag April 4. He is dropping back down for this one and must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #9 (Quest for Fire) (8-1) - Unraced since March 1, he's spent his entire career racing in New York. This stalker was working steadily at Belmont before shipping and is dropping to this $8,000 tag for the first time. 6yo by 'City Zip' may grab a share if ready.
