Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (BLACKOUT) (5-2) - Veteran French import was a winner here at this tag and trip Jan. 12 and was claimed away from Peter Miller that day by Jeff Mullins for the $32K asking price. He finished 4th, beaten 2.5 lengths at that same price Feb. 17, and was re-claimed by Miller. I give this 7yo a small edge.
2nd pick: #2 (Restless Rambler) (7-2) - Very fast from the gate, he drops in price after tiring here at this trip facing $50K claimers Feb. 28. It was his first back following a two-month break, and he's a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Italiano) (4-1) - Stretch runner missed by just under two lengths here for a $40K tag on March 7. He drops a bit, has Flavien Prat back aboard after a one-race absence, and this 5yo should be finishing fast.
