Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (NEXT REVOLT) (3-1) - A 'Triple Crown' nominee, this $130K purchase tired late here at this trip to miss by just over three lengths facing much tougher May 23. Back in two weeks, he takes a big drop in class, and should beat this group despite having a tough outside post.
2nd pick: #5 (Pour On the Cole) (9-2) - This state-bred tired when going a mile on the grass here facing tougher May 17. It was his first start since Aug. 2, and he's back quickly, drops into a claimer, moves back to the dirt, and is dangerous.
3rd pick: #7 (Mongol Atai) (5-1) - A nice debut saw him raced wide while not far off a quick pace before tiring to miss by 14 lengths facing tougher at this trip March 15. Working well since, trainer Ganbash has won with three of 12 (25%) second out in 2019-20 and with four of 17 (24%) on the drop into claimers over that same time frame.
4th pick: #8 (Debt Monger) (6-1) - No speed type missed by 2.5 lengths at this tag and trip Jan. 11, then finished a distant 2nd under the same conditions Feb. 22. He fits, but he will need some pace help if he is to win this.
