Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (BORU) (8-5) - He's shortening up a bit after finishing 3rd of 8, missing by a 1/2 length going 9 furlongs here at this $50K tag May 5. It was his first race since late May of 2018 and he gets top billing.

2nd pick: #5 (Conquest Smartee) (3-1) - Speedy sort moves to the grass while stretching out in distance in his 2nd back following almost a year on the sidelines. Competitive in 8 of 9 on the turf earlier in his career, 4yo has gone 8-0-3-4 on this course. He tired sprinting on the dirt at this level May 5 and should be in this every step. A win candidate.

3rd pick: #1 (Aussie Fox) (2) - He rallied following a slow start to finish 2nd, a 'nose' in front of 'Boru' here at a mile May 5. He's broken poorly in three of his last four, but must be left in the mix despite that fact.

4th pick: #4 (Third Army) (8-1) - Lightly raced, he ran both wide and evenly when finishing 4th at this distance for a $75K claiming price May 10. He drops to a new low and is capable of factoring at a square price.
