Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #1 (CALIFORNIA SWING) (10-1) - Longshot switches from dirt to turf and is dropping into a claimer for the first time. He was competitive on this course last summer/fall and it's noted that trainer Chris Clement has Jose Ortiz aboard for the first time. The pair have won with 19-of-81 (23%) when teamed up over the past 17 months. Son of 'Malibu Moon' has a good chance at a big price.

2nd pick: #2 (Karna Delight) (15-1) - Another longshot, he raced evenly from a tough outside post (12th of 12) when facing tougher here going 10 furlongs May 12. $400,000 colt has blinkers added, drops in class, shortens up in distance, and John Velazquez is riding him for the first time.

3rd pick: #3 (Altruism) (6-1) - From the barn of leading trainer Chad Brown, he adds blinkers to this NEW gelding who raced evenly April 2 at Gulfstream Park. Grey 3-year-old has room for upside and Brown has positive stats in all the relevant categories.

4th pick: #6 (Somesville) (4-1) - Nicely-bred colt rallied to finish on even terms here May 12. Another that's dropping in class, he should be rallying during the stretch run.
