Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (BABY GRONK) (9-5) - Lightly raced gelding set a quick and pressured pace before missing by a 'nose' here at this level going six furlongs March 17. Only his 2nd start, it was his first since Aug. 11 when trainer Bill Spawr claimed him for $50,000 at Del Mar. He's worked four times here this month and gets top billing today.
2nd pick: #5 (Soul Owner) (7-2) - Colt broke slowly when debuting in the same March 17 that saw 'Baby Gronk' miss by a 'nose.' He followed that up with a 2nd place finish April 5 and is dangerous today with a bit more improvement.
3rd pick: #6 (Old Indian Trick) (6-1) - One of three making their debuts, Tommy Town home bred worked a very sharp five furlongs from the gate here April 9. From a capable first out barn (Mike Machowsky, 15%), this colt is bred for speed.
4th pick: #2 (Wild Nando) (3-1) - The field's lone 4yo cuts back in distance following a pace-setting 2nd place finish going a mile here at this level March 23. Speed/stalker has been competitive sprinting in the past and must be left in the mix today.
