Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (MR HAMILTON) (4-1) - He tired in his debut here at this level going six furlongs on a sloppy surface May 3. It was a useful debut, and the leading trainer here (Ramon Preciado) brings him back quickly and shortens him up a bit. 3yo draws the rail and can win this at a square price.

2nd pick: #6 (Grit N Grind) (5-2) - The probable favorite, he exits the same last race as 'Mr Hamilton' and defeated that rival by 4.5 lengths. He's worked fast since and is an obvious win candidate at a short price.

3rd pick: #5 (Magna Fortune) (3-1) - He set a pressured pace in the slop here May 1 and held to finish 3rd. A nice debut, it came facing 'open' $25K claimers. He's moving up in class and in with fellow Pa breds. Must be left in the mix.

4th pick: #2 (Gray Cozzene) (10-1) - Longshot has some speed and is racing third back from a 3.5-month break. Grey gelding tired last out after rushing up following a hard 'bump' at the break. May grab a share at a big price.
