Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (DEPUTY DANE) (7-2) - Lightly-raced gelding finished a very wide and even paced fourth at this tag and trip April 2 at Santa Anita. He's worked since, is brought back quickly, and he draws a better post.
2nd pick: #3 (Starship Samurai) (2-1) - Calif. bred is dropping into a claimer for the first time while racing second off a 2.5-month layoff. He has a bit of speed and he should be involved every step in this weak field.
3rd pick: #4 (Lucky Tommy) (5-2) - One of two making their debuts, he's working fast locally, including a swift five furlong gate breeze March 31. Dangerous if he runs to his early morning drills.
