Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (COURTING A KISS) (7-2) - Speedy sort tired after chasing a quick pace facing much tougher March 15. He had finished 2nd in his previous pair and drops to a new low in this spot. I give him a slight edge.
2nd pick: #8 (Coal Truth) (3-1) - He as a winner here at this tag and trip Feb. 28, then rallied to finish 2nd at it March 19. From the barn of leading trainer Bob Diodoro, this consistent sort is an obvious win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (I'm Corfu) (8-1) - Longshot moves up in class after missing by a 'neck' April 2 for a $20K tag. By far his best since coming off a 4.5-month layoff Jan. 26, he's capable of impacting today at a square price.
4th pick: #6 (Whiskey Echo) (5-1) - He drops after a 4th place finish on April 2 for a $40K tag in his first off an Ingrid Mason claim Feb. 28. Stalker has back class and was only 1.5 lengths in back of 'Coal Truth' two races back. In the mix today.
