Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (TALE OF BEAUCETTE) (7-2) - This veteran is one of two entered by leading trainer Karl Broberg, and the pair race uncoupled. Gelding has won three of his last four and is two out of three since being claimed. Stalker moves up in class, but in his present form gets a slight edge with leading rider Tim Thornton staying aboard.
2nd pick: #8 (Reckless Ransom) (5-1) - Another veteran, he's finished 2nd in two straight including a near miss here at this level going five furlongs May 30. Back in form following a Keith Bourgeois claim March 17, stalker draws a fine post at this trip, and is dangerous.
3rd pick: #5 (Wabash Cannonball) (4-1) - The second of the Broberg trained pair, he's won two in a tow, one each on dirt and grass. He likes this distance (6-3-2-1), and this 7yo completes a strong 1-2 punch from the leading trainer.
4th pick: #6 (Erik the Red) (8-1) - Very sharp in five straight, stalker is cutting back in distance for this attempt. A stretch threat, he needs to do better for anything more than a small slice of this.
