Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (TIZ TODD'S WAY) (3-1) - Lightly-raced colt ships from Oaklawn where he finished second for a $20K tag March 18, then tired while wide in a follow up 10 days ago. This is his first time facing fellow Louisiana breds and a weak group for the level.
2nd pick: #8 (Tensas Talk) (4-1) - Gelding rallied to finish third at this level in a pair of starts at the Fair Grounds going 6 furlongs. Wide in his debut Jan. 20, 3-year-old had trouble at the break in his follow up Feb. 13. An obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Stuck in Vegas) (5-1) - Blinkers go on gelding who was competitive in one of two at the Fair Grounds with legitimate excuses in both. Away slowly in his debut March 8, he rallied to finish third, then raced evenly after a bit 'keyed up' in his latest on March 30. Dangerous today.
4th pick: #9 (Swinging Greeley) (8-1) - NEW gelding finished 5.5 lengths behind 'Stuck in Vegas' when debuting at the Fair Grounds March 8. He rushed up following a slow start and may grab a share of this at a big price.
