Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (JOERAY) (7-2) - Well bred colt drops in class after tiring here facing tougher March 31. A winner in two of three prior to that, son of 'Midnight Lute' is nicely spotted by trainer Dave Jacobson at 6-for-18 (33%) at the meet and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #5 (Royal Trump) (5-2) - He seems to thrive on keeping busy and is dropping down following a close up third place finish here at this distance March 30 for a $35K price tag. Stalker is a strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Don't Stalk Me) (3-1) - Sharp in both starts, he rallied from close range to finish second here at this tag and trip March 15. It was his first since July 9 when he was an easy 4.5 length winner when debuting at Los Alamitos. In the mix.
4th pick: #2 (Gringo Star) (5-1) - Very fast from the gate, home bred is facing winners for the first time. He broke his maiden in gate-to-wire fashion here for a $30K tag April 6 and is conservatively spotted by trainer Ian Kruljac. Three-year-old will take them as far as he can.
