Bet this race at Diamond SportsTop pick: #2 (MACK'S CHAMP) (4-1) - Speed/stalker draws a good post in the 5 furlong sprint. He tired after dueling through solid fractions April 11, then was bothered at the break in his follow up April 28. In a winning barn (Karl Broberg) and leading rider Tim Thornton stays aboard.
2nd pick: #4 (My Captain) (5-1) - A winner at this distance Feb. 21 at Delta Downs, he tired late when finishing fourth here at this trip and level April 28. Competitive facing tougher several times in the past, he's a serious threat at a square price.
3rd pick: #6 (Shambolic) (3-1) - The morning line favorite, he ships back from Lone Star Park where he ran evenly when finishing third when facing a bit tougher May 13. Sharp in both previous local starts, he's a win candidate this evening.
4th pick: #9 (Minister Nick) (7-2) - Gelding drops to a new low after tiring here facing tougher in his local debut April 26. In very poor form in three straight starts, he should be competitive in this spot.
5th pick: #5 (Methuselah) (6-1) - Well bred 4-year-old has god early speed, drops to a new low, and runs second back following a 12 week break. Gelding by 'Bodemeister' must be left in the mix as he drops into a career soft spot.
