Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (CAPOTE P) (7-2) - Speedy and lightly-raced, barn is cutting him back in distance for this attempt. Three-year-old tired here at this tag going an additional furlong May 18. He had a tough outside post and today breaks just off the rail in this abbreviated sprint.

2nd pick: #8 (Scoot Too) (3-1) - The morning line favorite, he set the pace before weakening to check in a distance third here at this level April 23. Nice effort was in his second lifetime start and the horse that ran second broke his own maiden next out. An obvious win threat.

3rd pick: #7 (Tough Boss) (5-1) - One of two first-time starters, 4-year-old is by an old reliable Louisiana based stallion 'Good and Tough.' Gelding worked an above average half-mile here May 13 and need not be much to factor against this group.

4th pick: #5 (Ill Advised) (10-1) - On the sidelines since last July, he has early speed and has finished second in two of five previous local attempts. He's run well fresh in the past off of shorter breaks.
