Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (DR DORR) (7-2) - Quick developing gelding has won three in a row and was a 7.5 length winner here at this distance in the Californian Stakes (G2) April 28. Bred/owned/trained by Bob Baffert 5-year-old earned a huge figure that day and has been working fast since. This field is much tougher, but I still give him top billing.

2nd pick: #4 (City of Light) (9-5) - The morning line and probable favorite ships back from Arkansas where he won the G2 Oaklawn Park Handicap at this distance April 14. Speed/stalker has gone 7-4-3-0 overall, is working fast, and is an obvious win candidate.

3rd pick: #2 (Accelerate) (5-2) - Veteran was only a 'neck' behind 'City of Light' at Oaklawn Park April 14. He's earned triple digit Byers in four straight, draws just off the rail, and stalker must be left in the mix.
