Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (CORPORATE CHAPEL) (7-2) - Strong finisher moves from dirt to grass after going 3-2-1-0 here on the dirt since coming off a three month layoff Feb 13. Capable on the turf and leading rider Scott Stevens stays aboard.

2nd pick: #3 (Antares dream) (4-1) - Veteran has fine early speed in a race without much other visible pace on paper. He raced wide last out while finishing third at this level March 12. He draws a better post today and should be involved from start-to-finish.

3rd pick: #5 (Megastar) (6-1) - Old timer has developed into a stretch runner after having much better positional speed earlier in his long career. He was a winner here at this tag and trip Nov 14. Sent in for a seven week break in early Dec, he's been competitive in three of four starts at this claiming price since returning.

4th pick: #2 (Barley Twist) (8-1) - He fits with his best, but is a bit of an unreliable type. Five-year-old is dropping back down in class after racing very poorly in a stakes race March 26. Barn brings him back quickly and he's been competitive at this level in the past.
