Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (PEE WEE RESE) (6-1) - Longshot has been on the sidelines since winning his grass debut Sept. 1 at Del Mar. Speedy Cal bred has worked a half-dozen times since Feb. 2, and all have been above average. Has a solid shot in a wide open contest.
2nd pick: #8 (Americanize) (2-1) - Very lightly raced, he missed by a 'head' here at this level Jan. 21 going seven furlongs on the dirt. Speed/stalker has been sharp in all three starts and is making his turf debut. Bred for the grass, his outside post will give jockey Marty Garcia some early options.
3rd pick: #7 (Aotearoa) (3-1) - Veteran drops a bit following a pair of good efforts here at this 6.5-furlong 'down the hill' trip. Stalker is racing third back from a series of layoffs and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #1 (Stormy Rocit) (9-2) - Old timer switches back to the grass after a pace-setting 2nd place finish here at this level sprinting on he dirt Feb. 18. Most all his success has been on the turf (22-4-2-6), and he should be involved every step.
