Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (AMERICAN PASTTIME) (2-1) - Colt made quite an impression when debuting here going 6-furlongs March 11. Bet down to 3-1 favoritism in a large field (11), he broke sharply and rated just a bit before sweeping to lead to win by 4.5-widening lengths. Working fast since, this $135K purchase may have some real talent.
2nd pick: #4 (Blue Anchor) (8-1) - Longshot finished a wide & even fourth at this level April 1. It was his first since Dec 31 and he had been sharp in five of six prior to the break. Speed/stalker is dangerous at a square price.
3rd pick: #7 (Stormy Rocit) (3-1) - Very fast from the gate, he moving back to the dirt and drops back down in class. He tired here on the grass April 2 facing tougher while in his previous start Feb 18 he had missed by less than a length at this level. Barn (Peter Miller) continues on a strong positive roll over the past several months.
