Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (TELETAP) (7-2) - Blinkers go on and he's racing in a claimer both for the first time. Four-year-old son of 'Tapit' ships from Oaklawn where he finished and even fourth going a mile facing tougher March 9. The top pick, but make sure you box your bets in this contest.
2nd pick: #10 (Sparticle) (5-1) - Away since late August, he has sharp early speed, is working above average, and has been competitive in both starts to date. Three-year-old draws a fine outside post at this 7 furlong distance and Gary Stevens is aboard.
3rd pick: #9 (Whatelse Igot Tpdo) (4-1) - Louisiana bred set a quick pace and held gamely to miss by a 'neck' going 6 furlongs at the Fair Grounds facing fellow state breds March 29. Colt has leading rider Florent Geroux aboard and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #8 (First Recruit) (8-1) - Debuting home bred enters off a bullet half-mile from the gate here April 12. That work came right after a sharp 4 furlong breeze April 3 and he looks well prepared to be competitive first out.
