Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #11 (ROBERT E. LEE) (2-1) - Gelding is anchored on the also-eligible list and needs one scratch in the main body to compete. Stalker has been competitive in four straight facing tougher and will be tough in this contest if he scratches in.
2nd pick: #5 (Black N Gold) (3-1) - He's racing second back from almost an eight week break and is shortening up in distance. Five-year-old set a solid pace before tiring very late to finish second here going a mile at this level Feb .18. An obvious contender, he becomes the top selection if 'Robert E. Lee' doesn't scratch in.
3rd pick: #6 (Big Daddy Brahms) (8-1) - Stalker stretches out in distance after stumbling and losing his rider here at this level going five furlongs Feb. 25. He had finished fourth in four straight prior to that and had been close up in the latest three of those.
4th pick: #2 (Tuco's Revenge) (5-2) - Veteran rallied to check in a fast closing third here at this tag and trip Feb. 18. It was his second back from a two month break and this Texas bred gelding has some back class. He must be left in the mix.
