Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (TINA'S EXCHANGE) (2-1) - This race has been taken 'off the turf' and switched to the main track. Lightly raced gelding has finished 2nd in both career starts, once each on dirt and turf. Stalker earned a big figure when debuting here on the main track Feb. 19 and is the top pick.
2nd pick: #7 (Milhaud) (3-1) - He's been away from action a very long time (26.5 months). Bred and owned by composer Burt Bacharach, gelding raced evenly in his first pair here during the first two months of 2015. His works are solid, and trainer Rick Mandella wins at a 23% rate of of long layoffs.
3rd pick: #1 (Bucky Goldstein) (4-1) - 5yo finished a distant 2nd when debuting here on the dirt facing $40K claimers March 23. In his follow up start April 20, he chased a fast pace before backing up during the stretch run. He's come back with a fast work at San Luis Rey Downs April 20 and should be involved every step in this small field from his inside post.
