Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (JOHNNY RAY) (2-1) - Lightly-raced home bred stretches out to 7 furlongs following a second place finish here at this level going 5.5 furlongs April 14. Large specimen needs some time after the break to find his best stride so the longer trip is a positive for him.
2nd pick: #3 (Extreme Heat) (5-2) - Away from action since Nov. 25 of 2016, he's working fast at San Luis Rey Downs and returns as a NEW gelding. He showed good early speed in his first two starts and drops into a claimer for the first time.
3rd pick: #5 (Git On Your Pulpit) (9-5) - Three-year-old moves up in class following a strong second place finish facing open' $30,000 claimers going 6.5 furlongs April 6. Home bred missed by a 1/2 length that afternoon and came back with a sharp 5 furlong drill April 16. He's in the three horse mix.
