Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (CONFRONT) (10-1) - Price play is very well bred and cost $250,000 back in 2014. He has some early speed and he's racing on a 'poly' surface for only the second time. He was competitive on it at Woodbine 13 months ago and is working fast for his first since Dec. 28th. Gets a slight edge in a tough race.
2nd pick: #5 (Billy Bob Joe) (5-1) - Lightly raced, he showed good speed before weakening facing better April 24 at Woodbine. Colt has a recency edge on several and is dropping to a new low. A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #7 (R Tom Cat) (8-1) - Lasix is added to 3yo who was never involved when debuting on a sloppy surface at Penn National May 6. Barn brings him back quickly, and they worked him on the 14th.
4th pick: #6 (Royal Archie) (6-1) - He's shown nothing in a try on real dirt facing tougher. Unraced since Dec. 6th, he's a NEW gelding, takes a huge drop, and a top NYRA trainer (Linda Rice) has him switching to a synthetic surface.
