Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (COLONIST) (3-1) - Colt by 'Pioneer of the Nile' cost $300,000 and has been brought along slowly by trainer Jerry Hollendorfer. Three-year-old broke his maiden here going a mile April 2 and earned a nice figure. Working fast and he gets a slight edge in his first facing winners.
2nd pick: #5 (Bronze Age) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, he was 'pulled up' last out after a very poor start in the G3 Sunland Park Derby. He had broken his maiden here in his previous start and this Baffert trained colt has been working fast for this attempt.
3rd pick: #3 (Lifeline) (4-1) - Lightly-raced home bred is racing on the dirt and is facing winners both for the first time. Strong finisher broke his maiden here going 9-furlongs on the grass April 1 and has been working fine on the main track.
4th pick: #7 (Milton Freewater) (6-1) - Calif. bred drops in class after racing evenly and wide in the rich Santa Anita Derby (G1) April 8. May grab a share at a square price.
