Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #7 (JR'S SAUVAGE) (7-2) - Lightly-raced grey colt has been competitive in two of three starts and has done so despite having problems at the break in each. Stretch runner drops to a new low, has room for upside, and gets a slight edge.

2nd pick: #4 (Respect Due) (2-1) - The morning line and probable favorite, he finished a pace-pressing second here at this claiming price 5.5 furlong trip April 27. Grey gelding is an obvious strong win candidate and would be no surprise.

3rd pick: #11 (Mauk Power) (8-1) - He draws a tough outside post in this sprint so one-run type will need a fast and/or contested pace for any shot at winning this.

4th pick: #1 (Corey'sgoldentouch) (5-1) - 'Corey' drops back down after showing little here facing tougher April 27. Four-year-old was competitive in his previous start, has some early speed, and is breaking from the rail. Four-year-old must be left in the mix.
