Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (EL GRILLO) (7-2) - Grey colt has been sharp in all three local starts after being sent down from Aqueduct in late February. He broke his maiden here going six furlongs March 12 and has finished third in both starts at this 2l level going longer. Fine barn (Bob Mosco) is cutting him back in distance for this attempt. Four-year-old gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #8 (Purrin Proud) (2-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, he broke his maiden here Feb 29 in his first start in three months and first since coming from California. Gelding then finished a pace-pressing third for twice this price April 3 in his first facing winners. He has a speed/stalking style, is cutting back in distance, and is a strong win threat.
3rd pick: #5 (Dr Wiz) (9-2) - Speedy sort is dropping in class and shortening up 1.5-furlongs in distance. It was his first following a Juan Guerrero claim and this 4-year-old should be involved from gate-to-wire at a square price.
4th pick: #6 (Burden of Proof) (5-1) - Another with early speed, he set the pace before weakening to finish four lengths behind 'Dr Wiz' March 14. However, it was his first race in two months and he should move forward off of it.
