Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (TOUGH CUSTOMER) (2-1) - He likes to win (7 for 16 on the dirt) and strong finisher has won two of his three starts on 'off' tracks. He won his local debut in the slop on May 5 and was claimed that afternoon by Liz Dobles for $25,000. She moves in up in class but I like his chances despite that fact.
2nd pick: #3 (Hesinfront) (5-2) - Hard-hitting veteran rallied from close range to finish second here at this level and distance on a sloppy track April 23. It was his first start since Feb. 4 and he's been working fast for this attempt. A strong win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Mylute) (7-2) - Old timer is nearing the $1M mark in earnings and he's done so by facing much tougher competition during his 37-start career. Fits with these and is a threat at this level and distance.
