Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #10 (ELEMENTAL) (5-1) - Price play is one of two entered by Bruce Headley. The home-bred 4yo tired debuting here facing much tougher in a grass sprint Feb. 23. Down in class while switching to the dirt, I like her work pattern and her chances in this one.
2nd pick: #7 (It's a Riddle) (6-1) - This filly has finished 2nd in five of seven starts when in claimers, and the stalker had done so here in three of five. She raced at Los Alamitos April 24 and is a contender here due to that big recency edge.
3rd pick: #1 (Stick Up) (4-1) - A home-bred 4yo, she's dropping down in her first since Dec. 13 when she finished a close-up 4th here for a $40K tag. Working steadily, she has the rail, and should be competitive in this spot.
4th pick: #6 (Kirsch Truffle) (7-2) - A 4yo by 'Trappe Shot,' she has early speed and has been training steadily at the San Luis Rey Center for her first since March 8. Heavily bet in her last pair, this filly must be left in the mix.
