Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #9 (SUMMER CHAT) (3-1) - Gelding has been freshened up since tiring at this level and distance here at Santa Anita. Well bet in both starts, he ran 2nd here when debuting March 6. Working fast, and his outside post gives his rider some early options.
2nd pick: #4 (Ree O Kerr) (5-2) - Speedy and lightly raced, 3yo is dropping into a claimer for the first time. He's tired in his last pair facing much tougher and is a strong win candidate in this spot.
3rd pick: #5 (Big Guy Benny) (6-1) - He has a bit of speed, but is moving up in class and will face both inside and outside pace pressure. A small slice is his ceiling.
4th pick: #6 (Arch Kisser) (8-1) - Competitive in his first pair facing weaker on the 'poly' surface at Golden Gate Fields, he showed nothing here at this level in his first on real dirt. Needs to turn it around in this spot.
