Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (GEAUX METS) (2-1) - Veteran tries hard every time and is dropping down in class for this attempt. Stalker has gone 4-1-2-1 since being claimed by Rudy Rodriguez for $40K last November. Grey gelding has won here in the past and gets the call.
2nd pick: #3 (American Creed) (7-2) - He's entered in good form and is another that's dropping in class. Speed/stalker missed by a 'neck' Feb. 28th, then was rather 'dull' in a follow up start April 9. Trainer Dave Jacobson brings him back in nine days, and 5yo is a win candidate.
3rd pick: #6 (Ogermeister) (10-1) - He's been sharp in his last pair and runs first off a Mike Miceli claim. New trainer brings him back off almost a six-week break and at the claimed level. Can factor if he holds his present form.
4th pick: #5 (The Big Deluxe) (3-1) - Speedy veteran has won 10 of 35 lifetime starts on real dirt and is four for 10 on this main surface. He's been 'off' form in his last pair following a claim and needs to turn it around in this spot.
