Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (AWESOME PARTY) (2-1) - A $700,000 son of 'Curlin,' trainer Todd Pletcher drops him down to a $12,500 claiming price for this attempt. Colt tired at this distance for twice this price April 16, and it looks like they want him to pick up his second win and most likely be claimed away. He'll be tough against this group.
2nd pick: #7 (Shanghai Moon) (5-2) - Grey colt moves back to the dirt after an even and non-contending effort at this distance on the grass for a $20K tag April 12. Very sharp in three straight prior to that, he broke his maiden here at this one-mile trip March 12. Stalker draws a good post and is a serious win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Neverstopdreaming) (4-1) - Lightly raced gelding raced both wide and evenly here in a grass sprint facing $20K foes. He had finished 8.5 lengths behind 'Shanghai Moon' in his previous start, but he was bounced around at the break and had a very wide trip. In the mix.
4th pick: #1 (Chasing the Candy) (7-2) - He tired badly here in the same grass race that 'Shanghai Moon' exits and was far behind that rival. It was his first since shipping down from Laurel, and he had been competitive there in three straight on the dirt before action stopped there due to the virus. One of two that have won twice, his early speed makes him a bit interesting.
