Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (HALO'S BEST) (5-2) - Colt has been freshened up since April 21. He has the best early speed and is taking a big drop into a low level claimer in his return. Home bred should be able to take this group from start-to-finish.

2nd pick: #5 (Big Top Special) (3-1) - He's finished second in two of his last three facing just a bit weaker. Five-year-old was beaten less than a length in each and stalker is an obvious contender.

3rd pick: #4 (Coyote Del Fuego) (6-1) - Away from action since August of 2014, he finished second in four of six starts back then, with several facing much tougher. Speed/stalker drops down for his return and is a threat if ready. However, the 22 month layoff is a serious concern.

4th pick: #6 (Tootoughtotango) (8-1) - Gelding has tired in both starts facing better. Capable barn (Tom Lee) drops him to a new low and is cutting him back in distance. May grab a share at a big price in a bit of a puzzling finale to the card.
