Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (HURRY UP ALAN) (8-5) - Originally part of a Dan Gargan trained entry, he scratched the other half, and will have 'Hurry Up Alan' go it alone. He's racing first off a Gargan claim (27%), and he's worked him fast since the barn switch. Veteran gelding ran 2nd at this tag the day he was claimed and gets a slight edge.
2nd pick: #2 (City Steel) (5-2) - Speed/stalker has won eight of 23 starts racing on the dirt and enters this with a three race wining streak. In career best form, he has the rail, and should be involved from gate-to-wire. Win candidate.
3rd pick: #5 (Howl) (10-1) - Longshot is racing 2nd off a Pat Reynolds claim and he enters in good form. However, when checking in 3rd at this tag April 23, he was almost five lengths behind 'Hurry Up Alan.' Back in shape following almost a seven-month layoff and he should factor at a square price.
4th pick: #6 (Derby Glass) (6-1) - He makes his first East Coast appearances after spending his entire career in California. No speed type went 15-3-3-4 on conventional dirt out West, and stretch runner would love a fast and/or contested pace to develop.
