Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #13 (TOOHOTTOEVENSPEAK) (5-1) - This race has been moved to the main track. Stretch runner was one of two entered for the 'main track only' and his connections get their wish. He's racing second back off a 2.5 month break and draws a fine outside post for this seven furlong trip. Gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #14 (H Man) (7-2) - Very fast from the gate he was the other 'main track only' entrant. The distance, level, and track condition are all fine and 5-year-old is a threat to go gate-to-wire against this group.
3rd pick: #5 (Mission Leader) (6-1) - Longshot has disappointed in both starts since an easy maiden win Feb. 10. He's been in tough in each and may wake up today facing weaker foes.
4th pick: #7 (Lucky Lou Pal) (8-1) - Away from action since late August, he broke his maiden that day at Saratoga at this distance on a wet surface. I like his training pattern and he may factor at a square price if ready.
5th pick: #9 (Here Comes Tommy) (6-1) - 'Tommy' has earned over $300,000 with only two wins on his slate. He has 24 minor awards and no-speed type has been sharp facing tougher fields than this many times in the past. He's won at Belmont before and will be finishing fast.
