Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (CHANNEL MAKER) (5-2) - He rallied through heavy traffic to finish a closeup fourth racing here at this level going a mile April 8. Canadian bred stakes winner is brought back quickly by trainer Bill Mott and he has him traveling an additional furlong. He gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #4 (Makarios) (8-5) - The morning line and probable favorite, he rallied strongly to finish a close up third here in a G3 stakes April 7. $200K son of 'Giant's Causeway' has improved tremendously in his last two starts and is a strong win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #8 (Holiday Bonus) (8-5) - Heavily favored in his seasonal debut at Tampa bay Downs March 29, he was away slowly and was also bumped right at the break. He managed to finish third despite those issues and this still promising gelding by Harlan's Holiday' can factor at a square price.
