Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (LIFELINE) (5-2) - Home bred by 'Tapit' makes his second start after rallying to miss by a 'neck' when debuting here at his level and distance Feb. 20. Well backed that day, he's worked five times since and is one of two entered that were 'Triple Crown' nominees by their owners.

2nd pick: #7 (Californium) (6-1) - Lightly-raced son of grass sire 'Mizzen Mast' set a solid pace and held gamely to miss by a 1/2 length in the same Feb 20 race as 'Lifeline'. It was his first around two-turns and 3-year-old was only a 'neck' back of that rival at the finish.

3rd pick: #9 (General Kitten) (15-1) - Longshot made up some ground last out after having some traffic issues in the early stages. It was his first with both lasix and blinkers and think he's capable of impacting at a very big price.

4th pick: #8 (Marq One) (6-1) - No-speed type rallied from far back to finish second here at this level going a mile March 12. By far a career best, it was his first ever on the grass. That said, he received a very fast and contested pace that day and may not be as fortunate in this spot.

5th pick: #12 (Tybee Island) (10-1) - Home bred by 'Scat Daddy' is stretching out in distance and is making back-to-back starts for the first time. His outside post is a negative, but he may grab a share if able to avoid a wide trip.
