Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (SIR EDDIE) (5-2) - This grey gelding has finished 2nd in four of five starts here at this level and distance. He missed by a 'neck' here Feb. 23 and gets a slight edge today, but make sure you box your bets in this contest.

2nd pick: #6 (Hit the Seam) (9-2) - Reddam home bred set the pace and held to finish 3rd, just under three lengths behind 'Sir Eddie' here at this level and distance Feb. 23. Trainer Ed Freeman removes this 4yos blinkers, and the gelding is a win candidate.

3rd pick: #3 (Sidepocket Action) (12-1) - Longshot has good early speed and is working fast for his first start since Jan. 1. 5yo moves from dirt to turf and can get a share of this at a big price.

4th pick: #8 (Play Money) (3-1) - Well backed when debuting here at this level and distance on the dirt Feb. 16, he rushed up after a slow break and then tired late to finish 4th. Bred for turf success, trainer Dave Hofmans has the hot Raf Bejarano aboard for this attempt.
