Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (Special Day) (7-2) - Colt looked dangerous turning for home here Feb. 29, but lost his position when he made a turn to the right at the head of the stretch. Home-bred has worked three times since, and I like his chances.
2nd pick: #1 (Connection) (6-1) - He's stretching out in distance while dropping in class in his 3rd back following a three-month layoff. Stalker has the rail, blinkers on, and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #9 (Bayern to Be Wild) (4-1) - This son of 'Bayern' ships from the Fair Grounds where he tired to finish 4th for a $50K tag Feb. 29. It was his first in a claimer, his best to date, and trainer Joe Sharp is 6 for 22 (27%) at the meet. In the mix.
