Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (ST. LOUIE) (2-1) - Very consistent 5-year-old has become a much better horse since trainer Mike Maker aded blinkers to him in early November. Stalker has gone 4-2-1-1 since then and just missed here at this level and distance Feb. 2. Has the rail, is working steadily, and he gets the edge.
2nd pick: #6 (Bow Tie Affair) (6-1) - Strong finisher moves up in class after rallying to defeat weaker Feb. 10. Very sharp in four of his last five starts, he has a shot at a square price.
3rd pick: #3 (Otto) (5-1) - Lightly-raced colt has been freshened up since finishing a close up third here at this level Jan. 18. Working fast at Palm Meadows for trainer Jim Bond and this 4-year-old still has room for upside.
4th pick: #4 (Son of Oahu) (6-1) - Away from action since late September, he had finished close up in three starts at this level on the NYRA circuit before he layoff. He breezed a bullet five-furlongs at Palm Meadows March 5 and that would suggest he's ready of the layoff.
