Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #8 (TRUE VALOR) (8-1) - Longshot moves way up in class and stretches out in distance in his first facing winners. 3yo was a very impressive maiden winner here going six furlongs for a $30K tag May 26. It was his first race since late October and his first in blinkers. Has a solid shot at long odds.
2nd pick: #5 (Excavation) (5-2) - The probable favorite, he broke his maiden here going seven furlongs for a $30K price tag April 22. Moved to this level and distance May 20, he missed by a 1/2-length while warning a career best figure. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Small Town Hero) (6-1) - He raced wild last out while finishing three lengths in back of 'Excavation.' Lightly raced gelding has been working fast since and must be left in the mix.
4th pick: #7 (Quality Line) (3-1) - Consistent speed/stalker has gone 3-1-2-0 in sprints since coming off an 11-month layoff April 20. In career best form, he should be close up early, and has a shot turning for home.
