Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #3 (IANCOL) (9-5) - The morning line favorite, he's racing second back off a seven week break and is taking a big drop in class. He raced both wide and evenly here at this distance facing tougher May 6 and has worked fast since. He'll be tough on these with his 'A' game.
2nd pick: #7 (CommanderLute) (2-1) - Lightly-raced, he's the main speed of this small group. He was an easy wire-to-wire winner at this distance April 24 racing at Los Alamitos for a $12,500 claiming price. In his follow up start here at this tag and trip he set a pressured pace and held to finish 4. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #1 (Black Tie) (6-1) - He's finished second in two straight at this distance facing weaker at Los Alamitos. He's run well here in the past, draws the rail, and has a sharp work since his last start.
4th pick: #5 (Ready cat) (4-1) - No-speed type stretches out in distance after missing by just under a length sprinting at Los Alamitos April 28. It was his first race in three months and a career best overall. Stretch threat.
