Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (IMPERIO D) (6-1) - He finished an even 3rd here facing similar June 4 in his first race in three months. It was a positive effort from a tough post (12 of 12), he draws much better today, and he gets a small edge.
2nd pick: #12 (Frozen Account) (4-1) - A NEW gelding, he runs today second back from a 2.5-month layoff and off a private trainer change to Carlos Martin. The new bran drops him into a claimer, and this 3yo did well in his return June 5 facing tougher. A win candidate.
3rd pick: #4 (Apex Predator) (6-1) - An even pace type, he finished 3rd here June 3 at this level in his first start in three months. He fits with his normal effort and should factor at a square price.
4th pick: #1 (Macho Boy) (20-1) - This longshot has the rail, early speed, and is racing second back following a pair of layoffs. Involved in a pace fight last out, he's capable of holding down a share at a big price.
5th pick: #5 (Street Dance) (4-1) - He raced evenly here when debuting at this level June 4. The homebred was 2.5 lengths behind 'Imperio D' that afternoon, and it's a plus to see Joel Rosario back on the re-ride.
