Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (MARGOT'S BOY) (7-2) - This lightly raced state-bred has won two in a row here at this distance and is moving in with 'open' company for the first time. The 3yo appears to be the lone speed in this six-horse field, and I give him a slight edge.

2nd pick: #5 (Best Chance) (6-1) - Well-bred colt hasn't raced since breaking his maiden here at this distance for a $75,000 price tag Feb. 21. A career-best, it came off a three-month layoff, and this longshot is working nicely for this attempt.

3rd pick: #1 (Liar Liar) (8-5) - Irish import is the morning line and probable favorite. The strong finisher finished 2nd, missing by just over a length here at this level and distance March 20. Stakes placed late in December, the colt has a ground-saving post, and is an obvious win candidate.
