Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (UPBEAT TEMPO) (7-2) - He has the best early speed of this group and colt should secure the rail right at the break. He's been sharp in three straight here and has finished close up third in two straight at this level and distance.
2nd pick: #8 (Inexcess Time) (5-1) - Price play is stretching out in distance and does so for an annually high-percentage barn (Bob Diodoro). Trainer wins at a 23% clip on the stretch out and this 4-year-old is a threat from close range.
3rd pick: #7 (Zim N the Mailman) (9-5) - The morning line and probable favorite, he's finished second in two straight here at this level and was just in front of 'Upbeat Tempo' in both. An obvious win candidate at a short price.
4th pick: #5 (Where's Bubba) (8-1) - Lightly-raced gelding is another that's stretching out in distance. He's working fast for his first in almost a month and he may be competitive at a big price.
