Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (ALWAYS NEVER) (4-1) - Lightly-raced 5-year-old is working fast for his first since Jan. 29. He returned from a 15 month layoff in December and tired in his first two back facing tougher. Trainer Mike Puype drops him to a new low and he can win this with his best.
2nd pick: #10 (Strong Values) (5-2) - He broke his maiden here going 5.5 furlongs for a $20K tag April 6. It was his first since early November of 2015 so he has every right to improve a bit more. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #3 (Dr. Crabby) (7-2) - Colt has finished second in his last pair at this level. They came following a seven week freshening and with blinkers added. Dangerous in this spot.
4th pick: #1 (Where's Bubba) (10-1) - He hasn't raced since late August at Del mar. Working steadily, he has the rail, and trainer Bill Spawr is having a fine year at 15-for-43 (35%) so far in 2017. May grab a share at a big price.
