Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (CORDMAKER) (12-1) - Longshot enters off a pair of sharp wins that earned him career best figures. Stretch runner won a $100K stakes going 9 furlongs March 16 at Laurel, then won a 7 furlong race there April 25 that went in very fast time 1:21.80. He's worked fast since and catches a field with some in questionable form with some others coming off of layoffs.

2nd pick: #11 (Flameaway) (6-1) - Speedy sort tired after rushing up after a troubled break in a G3 stakes April 13 at Keeneland. He was much sharper in his previous pair including a win at Tampa in a $100K stakes March 9. A strong win candidate.

3rd pick: #8 (Tenfold) (8-1) - He raced evenly in the G2 Oaklawn Handicap April 13 in his second start back following a long layoff. A 4yo home bred by 'Curlin', he missed by less than a length here in last year's Preakness (G1) and is dangerous with his best.

4th pick: #2 (Rally Cry) (9-2) - From the Pletcher barn, he raced evenly when finishing fourth April 20 going 9 furlongs in the Charles Town Classic (G2). He's kept good company his entire career, has a ground saving post, and must be left in the mix.
