Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (GATO DOLCE) (5-2) - Lightly-raced 4-year-old finished a pace-chasing third at this tag going a bit longer March 24. It was his first off a Mark Glatt claim and gelding gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #3 (Awesome Image) (7-2) - NEW gelding is working fast for his first since Dec. 4. Competitive several times at this price tag, his a.m. drills indicate this 4-year-old is ready of four month layoff.
3rd pick: #4 (Big Hearted) (5-1) - He pressed while between horses before tiring to check in fifth, three lengths in back of 'Gato Dolce' March 24. It was his first back from a seven month absence and he may have needed that start.
4th pick: #1 (Citori) (8-1) - Tough call as NEW gelding is taking a big drop in class after being pulled up here facing much tougher Feb. 26. Four-year-old was racing off a six month break and may have needed the effort. He has early speed and the rail.
