Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (CAPTAIN CARCHY) (2-1) - He ships down from Aqueduct where he raced evenly while checking in third of six, beaten just under four lengths racing for a $40K tag March 10. That was this Cal if. bred's first start since shipping from Santa Anita. He had finished second in five of six races on the So. California circuit before relocating and gets a slight edge in this contest.
2nd pick: #7 (Explosive Holiday) (6-1) - Very lightly-raced colt hasn't seen action since Oct 18. $150K son of 'Harlan's Holiday' raced evenly in both starts at that time facing tougher. He's working nicely and think he can impact at a square price.
3rd pick: #2 (Bullish Bird) (3-1) - Speedy sort ships in from Penn National where he finished a pace-setting third going 8.5-furlongs facing tougher Feb 25. Four-year-old gelding has worked well since and trainer Kate Parker is shortening him up in distance.
4th pick: #3 (Vicious) (7-2) - He's rallied to finish fourth after not breaking alertly in two starts at Laurel. They were his first on this coast and came following a 10 month layoff. Stretch threat if he has an alert beginning.
