Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (WILLISTON DUDE) (2-1) - Gelding raced wide when finishing third of 8, beaten 3 lengths racing here at this tag and trip March 31. Stalker worked fast April 21 and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #3 (Majestic Journey) (6-1) - He's stretching out in distance in his second back following a 6.5 month layoff. Four-year-old made up some ground going 6 furlongs at this tag April 8 and had some serious early traffic issues that afternoon. A stretch threat and win candidate at a square price.
3rd pick: #8 (Spend It) (4-1) - He tired late after dueling for the lead when finishing a bit over 2 lengths in back of 'Williston Dude' here at this tag and trip March 31. Can factor but think his outside post may limit him to a minor award.
4th pick: #5 (Skagit River) (5-1) - One of two 3-year-olds entered he tired badly sprinting here against a bit tougher April 6. Competitive in two of four last Fall, he's working fast and he finished second Dec. 16 at Los Alamitos in his only previous start at this mile distance.
