Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (BLAME THE CAKE) (5-2) - Colt has been on the sidelines since late August at Saratoga. Competitive in one of two there, he's training steadily off-site and gets a slight edge if ready.
2nd pick: #6 (Sense of Justice) (7-2) - A $350K son of 'Street Sense,' he has good early speed and has taken betting action in both attempts. He finished a pace-pressing 4th here April 8 in his first start since July 15 and should be in this every step.
3rd pick: #5 (Creed) (2-1) - From the barn of 'Hall of Famer' Shug McGaughey, this debuting son of 'Honor Code' sold for $650,000 as a yearling back in Sept. of 2018. Training steadily at Payson Park, McGaughey is three for 10 at this meet, and all of those victories came with Tony Gallardo aboard.
4th pick: #1 (Five Star Colonel) (15-1) - Longshot tired debuting here April 1 and was 11 lengths in back of 'Sense of Justice.' He's worked fast since, moves to the rail, and may hold down a share at a big price.
