Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (MUCH TROUBLE) (5-2) - A lightly raced 4yo, he's dropping down following a pair of good efforts facing tougher. He was beaten two lengths here at this distance against $50K starter-allowance foes May 2 and drops to a new low here with blinkers on. He gets top billing.

2nd pick: #11 (River Knight) (15-1) - Longshot is racing second back from a seven-week freshening and is dropping down just a bit. He set the pace before weakening late to finish 4th here at this distance facing $40K claimers May 24. 10yo meets a very weak group today, and I believe his outside post and early speed will have him involved from gate-to-wire at a big price.

3rd pick: #3 (Phone Funky Monkey) (9-2) - No speed type drops down following an even effort here May 17 at this distance facing tougher. He was only two lengths behind 'Much Trouble' in his previous start (April 5) and is a late threat here.

4th pick: #5 (Purchasing Power) (10-1) - Another with no early speed, he moves up in class in his first following an A.C. Avila claim for $16K May 16. Lightly raced and well bred, he's capable of getting a share if the pace is fast and/or contested.
