Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (MALIBU DUDE) (4-1) - On the sidelines since last October, he's working very fast at Los Alamitos for his return. Gelding showed good early speed here facing tougher at that time and is dropping down in class. Can win this if ready.
2nd pick: #2 (River Hoss) (3-1) - Freshened up since late May, he's working steadily and is dropping back down in class. The last time he raced at this tag, he finished a pace-chasing second at Santa Anita on April 2.
3rd pick: #10 (Princely Warrior) (8-1) - Debuting gelding is well bred and has been given a steady diet of short works by trainer Doug O'Neill (15% first out). Can factor if ready at a square price.
4th pick: #7 (Johann's Command) (6-1) - Speedy sort moves up in class after finishing third in three straight facing weaker. Barn has veteran Kent Desmoreaux replacing apprentice Lindsay. Fits and should be involved from start to finish.
