Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (BIG HEATER) (7-5) - He finished 2nd facing a bit tougher March 12. It was his first race since Aug. 3, his first on a synthetic surface, and by far a career-best. 4yo gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #5 (Capacitor) (5-1) - Unraced since Sept. 15, this even-paced type takes a big drop in class for his return. Working fine for a capable barn (Gloria Haley), he's a win candidate if ready.
3rd pick: #2 (John's Intuition) (5-2) - He ships up from Santa Anita where he tired facing tougher May 16 in his first start in just under 13.5 months. Down to a new low here and on the all-weather surface for the first time, he must be left in the mix.
