Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (SPECIAL AGENT) (5-2) - Well bred 5yo set a pressured pace and held to finish 2nd here at this level and distance April 24. He has some back class, and the high percentage barn of Danny Gargan is adding blinkers.
2nd pick: #1 (Awesome Dixie) (9-2) - He was a gate-to-wire winner at this tag and trip Feb. 27th as he cleared the 2l condition. Doubled up in price March 28, he tired to finish a distant 4th in his first attempt at this 4l condition. Barn drops him back down, he has the rail, and is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (Smokin Pulpit) (10-1) - Even paced type has races in his past that fit with this group. Stretch runner showed a hint last out that he may be rounding into his best form and can threaten at a big price with another step forward.
4th pick: #3 (Nick's Posse) (8-1) - He's racing third back from a 3.5-month break and has raced evenly in his return pair at this level. In a good barn (Patty Farro), and another who may factor with just a bit more improvement.
