Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (WINNING ELEMENT) (2-1) - He missed by just under a length here at this distance in a high-end ($50,000) starter-allowance April 20. It was his first since Jan. 26 when he was claimed by Doug O'Neil for $40K. Nicely spotted and he'll be tough in today's finale.
2nd pick: #6 (Dreams of Valor) (6-1) - NEW gelding has some ability and is is racing 2nd back off a two month break. Long shot is capable of getting a share at a big price with his 'A' game.
3rd pick: #5 (Taniko) (7-2) - Lightly-raced 5-year-old has been competitive in five straight and was only a 'head' in back of 'Winning Element' Nov. 16 at Del Mar. Strong finisher must be left in the mix.
