Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #6 (MY COUSIN LOU) (3-1) - Lightly-raced colt chased and tired while finishing a distant third here at distance facing tougher on a sloppy surface April 9. It was his second back off almost an eight month layoff and his first around two-turns. He's worked twice since and is taking a big drop in class.

2nd pick: #7 (Diploma) (6-1) - Stretch out sprinter has some early speed but could not show it last out after breaking slowly. Well bred 3-year-old has races in his past that would beat these if repeatable.

3rd pick: #5 (Thunder Alex) (9-2) - Laurel invader is taking the big drop into a claimer for the first time. Colt ran poorly there last out but had finished fourth in his previous pair. Son of 'Afleet Alex' has a new trainer (Rick Vega 22% with new arrivals).

4th pick: #3 (Tiz Indy's Way) (8-1) - Un-raced since March 25, he showed little in four starts at the Fair Grounds during their long meet. Well bred 3-year-old has a new trainer (Eberd Estrada) and at one time he was one of the better ones here at Philly Park. May grab a share at a big price.
