Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (STRUT THE RING) (5-2) - He enters in career best form and improved dramatically since being claimed by Matt Shirer for $5,000 in late November at Churchill Downs. He's gone 3-2-1-0 on the dirt since then and was a winner here over a pair of today's main rivals April 7. 7yo can win right back if he holds his current fitness.
2nd pick: #4 (Cookies Are Good) (3-1) - He rallied while wide to finish 3rd here April 7. Strong finisher was 1.5 lengths in back of 'Strut the Ring' that afternoon and this very consistent gelding has gone 18-5-5-3 during 2018-19. A win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Peekcho) (2-1) - 4yo is listed as the morning line favorite as he was a 1/2 length in back of 'Strut the Ring' on April 7 while a length better than 'Cookies Are Good'. In career best form, he drops 13 lbs today with apprentice Tormey aboard and is an obvious threat.
