Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (SKY JUMPER) (7-2) - Lightly raced and well-bred, he's stretching out to a mile in his first facing winners. $200K purchase from the Baffert barn broke his maiden here going six furlongs for a $50K tag Feb. 15 and draws the rail for this attempt. I give him a slight edge.

2nd pick: #3 (Challah) (5-2) - Competitive in three straight, he's finished 2nd in his last pair here, both at this level going 8.5 furlongs. Stalker runs third back off a two-month break and is a strong win candidate.

3rd pick: #4 (Zorich) (4-1) - Competitive in five straight overall, he dead-heated with 'Challah' Jan. 26, then was a 'nose' behind him Feb. 23. Another with a stalking style, he's an obvious threat if he holds his present form.

4th pick: #2 (Order and Law) (2-1) - The morning line favorite, he moves back to the dirt after missing by a 'nose' at this level and distance on the local grass course Feb. 21. He lacks the early speed of the other there selections, but still must be left in the mix.
