Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (MONEY COMETH) (5-1) - This colt finished 4th last out when the Asmussen barn dropped him down to today's $40K claiming price for the first time March 26. A $100K son of 'Curlin,' I give him a small edge.
2nd pick: #4 (Front Man) (8-1) - Price play has tired in his last pair facing tougher following a career-best here Jan. 24. Speed/stalker takes a big drop, and the colt should be involved from gate-to-wire at large odds.
3rd pick: #10 (Smart Call) (10-1) - Colt tired badly while wide debuting in a Fair Grounds sprint facing tougher Jan. 18. Down in class while stretching out in distance, this $240,000 son of 'Empire Maker' should factor today.
4th pick: #8 (First Citizen) (3-1) - He missed by a length here for a $30K tag March 5 and was claimed that afternoon by a small outfit. The colt has early speed and is a major player if he holds his form off the negative barn change.
