Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (SMOKIN PLATINUM) (3-1) - He finished 2nd here at this level going six furlongs on a sloppy track May 30 in his first start since Dec. 22 when he had the same result. Grey colt draws a fine outside post at today's 6.5 furlong trip, and I like his chances.
2nd pick: #5 (Elios Milos) (2-1) - Very lightly raced 4yo is training fast here for his first race in almost a year. He finished 2nd at this level and distance when last in action and had won his debut in his previous start. A strong win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #8 (The Big Lebanese) (4-1) - Even paced type is shortening up in distance following a trio of efforts at this level going longer. Within range in a pair of those at seven furlongs, he's capable of factoring at a square price.
4th pick: #4 (Light the Posse) (9-2) - From the same barn (Charlie Baker) as 'Smokin Platinum,' this strong finisher is facing winners for the first time. 4yo broke his maiden here at this distance May 26 in what was a career best effort. A fast and/or contested pace would help his prospects out.
