Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (NATO ISATEXAN) (2-1) - He's had many chances to get his maiden win, but he's been competitive many times in the past when facing tougher fields than this. Stalker finished a troubled fourth here on the grass Feb 16 and is brought back quickly and moves back to the dirt. Home bred is racing third off a three month break and will be tough with his normal effort.
2nd pick: #3 (Nifty Nickle) (3-1) - Improving grey gelding has more early speed than most and defeated 'Nato Isatexan' last out on the grass. That rival has finished in front of him on the dirt in the past. A strong threat in this spot.
3rd pick: #1 (Cookin On Saturday) (10-1) - Longshot has been handled by 'Nato Lsatexan' in three straight races. He's racing second back off a four month absence, has the rail, and has blinkers on for the first time. The inside was a good place to be on yesterday's card and this 4-year-old may grab a share at a big price.
