Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (LITTLE SCOTTY) (7-2) - Speedy veteran moves up in class following an easy gate-to-wire 6 length win going 9 furlongs for a $25K tag March 24. It was his first win ever on the main track and his first in 26 starts on the dirt. He gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #3 (Seau) (5-1) - One of two entered by trainer Jerry Hollendorfer gelding was beaten just over 2 lengths racing here going 8.5 furlongs at this level April 1. It earned him a career best figure and stalker is a threat with a repeat of it.

3rd pick: #2 (Point Piper) (9-2) - The second of the Hollendorfer trained pair, he tired late here facing tougher March 23 in his first race in 4 months. A stakes winner several times on the dirt in the past, I'd like him a bit more if not for his poor local record 9-0-1-0. That said, 8yo drops to a new low and is dangerous in this spot.
