Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #5 (STORM ADVISORY) (7-2) - This veteran shortens back up in distance after finishing an even 3rd here going two-turns in a $30K starter-handicap May 30. The old-timer has a flexible style and should receive a favorable pace picture to track and close into. I give him a slight edge.

2nd pick: #2 (Small Fortune) (2-1) - Speedy sort was a 2.5-length winner here at this level going six furlongs April 17 in his first race since Nov. 30. Last out at Gulfstream, he tired after chasing a fast pace for a $30K tag, and he's an obvious win candidate today at a short price as I could have easily made him the top pick.

3rd pick: #4 (Zorb) (8-1) - He's racing third back off a four-month layoff, and in his return April 17 he was six lengths behind 'Small Fortune.' Last out he was that same margin in back of 'Storm Advisory.' He's capable of factoring and should be competitive at a square price.
