Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #4 (GOT EVEN) (8-1) - Veteran chased a fast pace last out when racing at this level and distance May 6. He tired in the final furlong in what was his first race 3.5 months. Speed/stalker is training steadily for this attempt and he's been competitive many times here in the past at this level. Has a shot at a big price.
2nd pick: #5 (Dr Dorr) (7-2) - Lightly-raced colt hasn't raced since he rallied to finish fourth here in the G3 Bob Hope Stakes going seven furlongs here last November. Training fast for his return, 3-year-old is from the Baffert barn (24% off of long layoffs).
3rd pick: #6 (Pioneer of the West) (6-1) - Colt has raced himself back into shape after being away from action for 9.5 months. One-run type is 3-1-2-0 recently and moves up in class for this assignment. Dangerous in this spot.
4th pick: #8 (Souper Knight) (4-1) - Even paced veteran races first off a Pete Miller claim (a strong 33% winning angle). Stretch runner has done his best going shorter trips, but has won at this mile distance in the past. Gelding has some back class and must be left in the mix.
