Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #12 (ZARTAX) (4-1) - Lightly-raced and well bred, he's taking a big drop in class for his first since March 19. He finished third that day facing tougher on the Gulfstream grass and has been training well since. He has a nice outside post and is bred to enjoy 'off' going.
2nd pick: #7 (Biavian) (6-1) - Main-track only gelding gets his wish with race switching off the turf. He's taking a big drop in class, is moving from grass to dirt, and the only previous time he ran in a claimer he finished second at this $40K price tag.
3rd pick: #1 (Wind Damage) (5-1) - Un-raced since Oct 2, trainer Rudy Rodriguez is dropping him into a claimer for the first time. $400K son of 'Tiznow' is working well for his return and this particular drop is a 26% winning one by the barn.
4th pick: #5 (Refer) (8-1) - Tampa Bay invader finished second there at this distance facing tougher April 3. It was his first since Nov 11 and he's worked twice here since arriving from Florida. Must be left in the mix.
